The Blender Thread

^^^ Dude has some interesting videos:

 
Still blows my mind that one of the most interesting apps on the planet is free & open-source & delivers regular useful updates. The community & amount of tutorials is also something else.

So show me what you have done with it?....

Honestly - nothing really. I've spent chunks of time doing tutorials & playing around only to realize I don't actually have a need for it in my workflow. I do CAD and rendering & stuff in other packages already so the time investment to get proficient at Blender just doesn't seem worthwhile right now, especially when there's other specific apps where my time would benefit me a lot more.

If I was doing more freeform kinda creative stuff I'd jump into blender right now. But...mostly I just love the idea of blender. I've enjoyed the few times I've needed to do something quick and been able to use it. And I really enjoy watching people use software and cg breakdowns etc. so Blender stuff is like digital porn for me when I just wanna kick back for a few minutes.

Dunno, I'm doing a bit more animation lately and am starting to hit a wall with my current software so I'll see what the next few months brings. But ja - busy learning other software that's more beneficial right now so need a good reason to properly jump into Blender. Priorities I guess.

You using Blender at all? You do architectural visualizations sometimes right?

With all the hype about NFT's lately, I was looking at what sort things people create as NFT's the other day - 'digital sculptures' of various sorts seem to crop up quite a lot.

One thing that I thought was quite appealing was digital collectible model cars - similar to the high end physical model cars some people like. They come 'boxed' which is quite neat. I thought aircraft models might also have appeal to some people, especially if it were notable aircraft like the Red Baron's Fokker Triplane, the Memphis Belle or Concorde.

Anyway, something like that might be a fun project if you wanted to translate your CAD skills to Blender - you could also do it in your existing CAD package of course but just a thought.
