Random late-night tinkering in Blender creating a pixel art style filter 🪐
Swipe for: 240 px -> 120 px -> 240 px (ref with color adjustment applied)
The filter lets you create a color palette, then each pixel of the image is mapped to the closest color in the palette. There’s a lot more complexity but it feels like this provides a nice blend between algorithmic and manual control

Fun morning project. The first simulation of what a black whole would look like was rendered in 1979. The image is of course quite low resolution by our modern standards so I built a setup with Blender’s geometry nodes to replicate the printing process and effectively recreate the original image so it can be rendered at higher resolution.
I took the liberty of turning it into a fan poster for Interstellar as well. Really satisfied with how this turned out 🌌📷

Rendered out this guy as a lunchtime project. My model for simulating snowflakes is still proving robust and I’m immensely proud of how it’s come together. Video on how it works will be out soon! ❄️

Rendered this morning using my snowflake growth cellular automata model. The texture represents ~3500 iterations which took about 30 seconds to complete.
I’m quite proud of how capable this model is proving and the ability to solve for a “thickness” value really sets the results apart artistically from similar 2D sims. Will be making a YouTube video about this soon 🎥

Just an old wormhole render I made last year. Came across it while cleaning up my drive space and figured it’d be neat enough to share. Made this guy entirely in Blender with an OSL shader that simulates the spacetime distortion effects of a wormhole like the one seen in Interstellar.

Turned this terrain sketch of an ammonite atoll into a bit of fan/concept art. The terrain was made with KTT for Houdini then setup and rendered in Blender.

Study render and some photoshop practice inspired by NASA’s 2024 Earth Day poster.
I’ve been experimenting with using NASA’s MODIS imagery in addition to Landsat to create cloud textures that capture larger-scale weather phenomena. This was mosaic-ed from a couple worldview snapshots but I’ve spent today writing a script that reprojects and processes the raw data to preserve as much quality as possible achieving up to 250m resolution. 🌀☁️🌎

Glacial environment “sketch” made using Blender and Houdini with @mentally__renders incredible KTT toolkit (shoutout to the crevasses node for this one) with a bit of editing in Nuke. 🧊🪨❄️📸

Had a great time working with @disguys_fx on this project for @davidguetta recently. I was tasked with creating the energy beam as well as the “energy growth” effect alongside the main compositing team. The latter required an interesting blend of geometry nodes and compositing trickery to achieve the organic diffusion look a not possible with a simple shader mask. Was great to work with such an incredibly talented team of artists on this project!

Had some fun making a “vintage archived photo” out of a black hole render today. Considering getting into making prints but want to work on my graphic design skills a bit first and this seemed like a cool concept. 🔭🌌
