Recently, I found myself wanting more control over how the lighting of my renders look in Cycles so I found a way to use light layers in the compositor. Continue reading

Cycles Shaders
Here, are some shaders I’ve made in Blender with the Cycles Render Engine. Continue reading
Boredom…
This is a simple image I made when I was really bored. Continue reading
Triangulated Mountains
I decided to make this image after seeing this render by Nick Campbell. I wasn’t trying to fully recreate it but I thought it had a cool style and so I wanted to see if I could get that sort of effect in Blender. Continue reading
Abstract-ish Shapes
I was playing around with the the Remesh Modifier and the Ocean Modifier in Blender 2.64 and after a while, I got this weird spiky ball thing. I actually started this a long time ago and just forgot about it, but I found it and decided to might as well render it. Continue reading
Teapot Light Room
A quick test I did in Indigo Render. I wanted to test how Indigo handles interior renders. I rendered pretty fast and the result turned out really nice. I used an exit portal so that it renders more efficiently and faster. Everything was setup in Blender 2.63 and then exported to Indigo. The texture for the wall was from CG Textures… I think (I can’t remember).
Clue Trophy Piece
One night, me and my family were playing the game CLUE and I thought it would be fun to model the trophy piece. Continue reading
Hourglass
An hourglass I modeled in Blender 2.62 based off of a real one that was laying around the house. Continue reading
Billiards
Some Billiards I made for BlenderGuru’s Photorealism Contest. Created in Blender 2.62, the textures were made in Gimp 2.8. I used HDRI lighting in Cycles to make the overall feel of it more realistic. Some post-processing was done in the compositor.
Update: This picture got used for the BlenderNation header! BlenderNation is like the place to go for Blender news and stuff like that. So, that means a lot of Blender artists go there, which means a lot of Blender artists will see it. It was so crazy when I saw it there!
Planner Cover
The planner cover I made for my middle school. I made it with Blender 2.62 and rendered it with Cycles. The rays and the clouds were rendered on all different Render Layers so I could have more control. I put everything together in Photoshop, I did some compositing and color-correction in Photoshop too. Everything was only lit by a sun lamp and GI.
