Cool things I've made lately while learning blender.

Thanks Seerose and Lynxter4 for the rep points. I made a beveled glass mug here. I followed THIS TUT.

 

My goodness, these are all breath-taking, we could all end up questioning what reality/perception really is 😊

Thanks Welsh.

 

I didn't make this one, it's an existing model. I did modify it a bit though. It's an Old-School Chopper that is quite a work of art in my opinion.

I made a liquid metal sphere.

Love these animations @dipstick!     I'm noticing the big double window reflection doesn't move on the ball (as it shouldn't!).

 

How in the heck did you achieve that?  Pretty cool!  😁

@lynxster4

Here is a compilation video link that demonstrates the power of Blender.
(I have not used Blender for CGI or animation, but have used it as a video editor.)

I more or less followed THIS TUT. He didn't explain how he made the object, I had to figure that out on my own. The effect uses the "Displacement" modifier and an Empty to make the animation.

 

I've never used Blender for video editing and doubt that I would. There are much better free ones out there. I have my favorites already.

The rendering software in Blender uses a technique called "Ray Tracing":

I was only trying to share a Blender experience. I am aware of other free video editing apps that are easier to use than Blender. Since I own copies of Adobe Premier 5 and Pinnacle Studio 17, I mainly use them. For my CG work and I use Corel's Technical Designer (With Right Hemisphere's Deep Exploration 6 for 3D CAD and rendering) and Reallusion's iClone. Back in the late 1990's I was using Micrografx's  Simply 3D for CG and rendering. Simply 3D will not run in Windows 10 but I can still use it on my Windows 8.1 computer. As an art teacher I was able to get the software for 85% off.

Oi, @dipstick ! Do you have any tutorial on how could I set 3D model of motorbike on fire? I mean spinning wheels, smoke"n"fire all around? Can't find anything like that
