Mirror’s Edge

I can’t believe I found this render, I made it back in September of 2011. I learned a lot from making this one.

Coffee Cups

I was sitting on the computer, then I saw this Starbucks coffee cup my dad was drinking, so I decided to try and model it since I’m not that great at modelling and it looked simple enough.

Toy Train

I haven’t done anything in Blender lately because of school and stuff. So today I made this picture of a little wooden toy train.

Light Groups in Cycles

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.

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.

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

Final render of the 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.
