Here's a visualization of global winds and precipitations on September 1st, 2019 (when [Hurricane Dorian](https://tinyurl.com/y3jewqqt) was hovering over the Bahamas, off the coast of Florida).

* Created in Python (using Matplotlib, NetCDF4, Scipy and Numpy modules)
* Public wind and precipitation data from the [NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis](https://tinyurl.com/y6mfqr6f)
* Wind particles colored according to speed (using Matplotlib "inferno" colormap)
* Rain particles scattered according to the precipitation rate

The seamless-loop effect was achieved by periodically spawning the particles at their initial location on a time range greater than the animation, and subsampling this time range before export. This effect was further enhanced by fading each particle's color to black at their birth and death, and using the "Additive" opacity in Sketchfab material settings to hide black points.

*PS: for Python enthusiasts, I've uploaded a [script to preview point cloud animations locally](https://tinyurl.com/yhyuuqev) !*

Tyrannosaurus rex was one of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs that ever lived. Everything about this ferocious predator, from its thick, heavy skull to its 4-foot-long (1.2-meter-long) jaw, was designed for maximum bone-crushing action.

This particular replica of T-REX's skeleton is on display in Knuthenborg Safaripark, Denmark. 

The photogrammetric capture has been done spontaneously, as a part of recreational visit to the park. 
Due to other participants of the visit not 'feeling for' photogrammetric capture, it had to be done extra-fast, resulting in a single 'loop' of photographs.

Capture time: <2min

Number of photos: 133

Software: Reality Capture

**IMPORTANT 2025 EDIT (PLS READ):**

I have greatly improved the model and re-uploaded it here: https://skfb.ly/pDx8S
I strongly recommend you download this as I will make this new version cost money as soon  as I become a seller on sketchfab.

**This new model has:**

-Improved custom hand drawn textures

-Improved animation and rigging

**________________________________________________________________________**

You can see me making this in a timelapse on youtube, share some love and subscribe, I make what the viewers ask in the comments (if they ask):
https://youtu.be/q0-Q6uVsh3w


**I DO NOT GIVE PERMISSION FOR YOU TO RE-UPLOAD MY WORK**

You can use it in your own games, animations etc however re-uploading my model  to sites such as sketchfab will not be tolerated.
I have recently found 9 re-uploads of my original model, most not even recognising me as the original creator.
If you do this, you WILL be reported and your upload WILL be taken down.
Stealing other peoples work is disgusting and pathetic.

Bloop

This is a beautiful scan Licenced under CC0 Public Domain that I found [here](https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/triceratops-horridus-marsh-e9c507f179ed4455aac3b208c9e6c973) made by The @Smithsonian Institution. 

I spent a couple of days cleaning and rigging the mesh to be able to animate it. I wanted to do a short looping animation by starting and finishing it with the same initial scan position

The Ming Great Wall (明長城; Ming changcheng), built by the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), forms the most visible parts of the Great Wall of China today. A comprehensive archaeological survey, using advanced technologies, has concluded that the Ming walls measure 8,850 km (5,500 mi) from Jiayu Pass in the west to the sea in Shanhai Pass, then looping over to terminate in Manchuria at the Hushan Great Wall.

Sophia Animated 003 - Animated 3D Woman

A generic doctor, for the sketchfab weekly, sadly I didnt finish in time. Also I wouldnt say its finished, theres still a lot that can be improved. 
I think this is the first human character I've made in over a decade, it kind of looks like a toy.
1024x body texture, and a 512x for the head. Could have reduced the poly count by removing the shirt parts you cant see over the coat, it has AO baked on so if you took the coat off, it'd just be black texture. 
I think I could be playing with the rigging forever, so I called it here, I also re-learned the importance of good loops....

Doctor - Sketchfab Weekly - 13 Mar'23

Here is an [animated ocean scene](https://3dhaupt.com/3d-model-vehicle-military-hovercraft-animated-ocean-high-poly-blender-animation/) made with 40 shape keys in  [Blender](https://www.blender.org/download/) :D

If someone want to make something like this, here is a link to my tutorial where I will explain the basics:

The animation loop is not perfect this can be done better but I am relatively happy with the result.
