Let me introduce the sphere bot. 
A robot which can transform into the most stable form (Sphere) for protection or just to roll around for fun.

Modelled, rigged and animated in [ Blender 2.77a](https://www.blender.org/) for the textures I used 3d-coat.

Animations in scene:

- Rolling
- Opening / Idle
- Walk
- Run
- Attack
- Run attack
- Jump/ Fly

Sphere Bot

*A.k.a. When life gives you eggs...*

</br>

Created in Blender and Gimp.

The egg model is a simple elongated UV-sphere, cut in two through a boolean modifier using a subdivided plane, which vertices have been randomized.

The egg white was simulated with fluids physics, before being manually sculpted to correct artifacts and smoothen it. The yolk was added manually later.

All the shell textures are procedural, and were created with Cycles nodes baked to the exported model before actually "cracking" it open.

S**t happens

This helmet, with its rather special appearance, is one of the few preserved objects that we know was owned by the Swedish king [Gustav Vasa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustav_I_of_Sweden). 

It was made in Germany in 1540, probably in Augsburg or Nuremberg, which were home to some of the most skilled armour makers of the time. The visor, the part that covers the face, did not originally belong to the helmet, but it is thought to be of the same period.

A helmet of this type was made not for battle but for celebratory occasions. In the 16th century, full suits of steel armour were the height of fashion. For parades and other royal festivities, the social elite would dress up in specially-made sets of costume armour with a close helmet. During these celebrations it became popular, in the early 16th century, to wear close helmets with grotesque visors in the form of animal or human faces, like this one, to enhance the festive atmosphere and heighten the sense of theatricality.

I used python and blender to precisely position (units are [parsecs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsec)!) 10000 stars from the [HYG Database](https://github.com/astronexus/HYG-Database). 

The star-planes are randomly rotated though, and keep in mind that the center icosphere representing the earth is exaggeratingly big - by a small factor of about 1.5 billion!!

The (short and ugly) bit of python script I used to make this visualization is available on [PasteBin](https://pastebin.com/0vhdGz59) if anyone is interested!

I am quite happy with the look of this model, stars use a transparent/emissive material mapped to the vertex colors created in blender (from each star "color index" if available in the database), and enhanced with some bloom to create halos... 

Next ideas: plot 100.000 neighbor stars, and maybe the Milky Way from ESA's [Gaia Archive](http://gea.esac.esa.int/archive/). That'd be really awesome!

Caffè Bernini is a lovely little street corner café in Shimura Sanchome, Itabashi, Japan. Based on the Italian sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini, father and son Iwasaki are  serving coffee from their in-house roasted beans. With a distict atmosphere, beautiful tableware and delicious coffee, it is definitely worth a visit when you are in Tokyo!

Took about 6 months to make.
Made with Blender and Photoshop

Given the recent scientific news and the fact that I'm on the "experimenting with volumetrics" path, I figured out that trying to reproduce space objects with simple force-driven particle simulation could be a fun exercise. Here are some first tests !

This object was made by moving 1000 particles around (rigid body rotation initial speed, one central repulsive force and two attractive ones), and "registering" their paths in an alpha voxels grid (225x225x225), which I finally mapped to textured planes for the volumetric effect.

A final central sphere was used with refraction parameters to create the center "black hole".

Might be resource intensive, sorry for that !

Little bridge found in a botanic park in britanny - France - Very cute japanese garden scenery I had to try to take the atmosphere of the scene.. not that easy, the weather wasn't that good and lightning tricky. Not enough pics of the under part. 8k textures / I tried to not make a mesh too big.

I hope you will like it

One World Trade Center, originally known as the Freedom Tower, is the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere located in New York City. It's standing at 1,776 feet (541 meters) tall, and it still hold the title as the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere since it topped out on May 10, 2013. It is currently the 6th tallest building in the world and it opened on November 3, 2014.

Created for a game project. 
Lowpoly, game-ready environment

Basically aimed for an old, cheap, dirty atmosphere in an apartment with some chinese element, kind of like 90's Hong Kong 

*Window glass, water bottle and some other parts have opacity map on them, I am lazy to adjust them in sketchfab but they are there.*

Really quick fanart on Hollow Knight game.
Admire the atmosphere of Hallownest very much. And one of my favourite action in the game - sitting on a bench and updating the map

Hollow Knight

It took 4 days to make 2nd version of TCF 1994-2010 logo remake recreated and aesthetic. I use a Hollywood mountains and city to matched the original animation, i use the camera, plane for the sky and plain axes for the empty to matched the original fox 1994 camera animation. I use spheres for the stars on the sky. I rotated the camera animation at the beginning and middle scenes of the fox 1994 remake. The 2nd version remake is matched to the real logo.

TCF 1994 Recreation (2nd Version) 2022 UPDATE

As it appears to be a trend, a small WIP diorama ([Nice one here!](https://skfb.ly/6xvV6)) just to try out some lighting technique for an incoming model (not a WIP I hope).

The refractive "box" around the model is just eye-candy, what was really of interest to me was to get an idea about bubbles (spheres with an emissive material coupled with dithering transparency), sun rays (elongated planes with blending opacity and a light emission to them) and the ground lights (not done well here, but basically voronoi textures to simulate the effect of waves on the light, baked on the ground model).

The ground is a quick and ugly dyntopo sculpt done in blender, while the little fish are just a particle system set with a lowpoly mesh as render object.

A nice point to spend time on will be the ocean surface, to do with the appropriate modifier in blender, and a refractive/small-scale-roughness/foamy-at-the-edges material.

Plus, I should try to animate rays, bubbles and fish (as boids) to give it a living touch.

This model was made with images from the Zoosphere Project.

"*Leucopholis irrorata* (Chevrolat), of family *Scarabaeidae*, subfamily *Melolonthinae*, is a Chafer Beetle considered as pest of Oryza sativa (rice) and Zea mays (maize) in the Philippines. The adults feed on the leaves while the grubs (called White Grubs or Root Grubs) feed on the roots of rice plants by digging through the soil. Root grubs feed on rice during the seedling stage of the crop.

**Distribution**: Luzon, Philippines. Synonyms: Leucopholis pollinosa; Leucopholis simillima.

**Habitat**: Backyard. This scarab beetle was being chased by my cat and just happened to land on a newly harvested Langka/Jackfruit." - *http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/23126081*
