Blender-Training.

After the first project idea I tried with a group failed to get off the ground, I decided to spend the rest of the time working with Blender, and seeing what I could do. The results were varied.

Inspiration

A youtube video on how to make a photorealistic moon, shown here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAOy42TR_Rk as well as some smaller projects I'd done in the past.

What it does

There's two products; a heightmapped model of the earth that spins, and a monster that just looks pretty.

How I built it

Blender! My full source list is 20+ sources and running - and that's getting written up since a couple of people have asked.

Challenges I ran into

Other than the first group falling apart? I spent a lot of time getting distracted showing people videos on procedural animation or generative modeling.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

The earth is pretty cool, and the monster is pretty.

What I learned

Rendering takes three hours, do it overnight.

What's next for Blender-Training

Honestly? Trying to attach an animation rig to the monster after I'm done with the basic model.
