Placebonox (Hypochondrinol) because we all know somebody that needs it.
A bit of quick modelling practice with Hard Ops
Simple HDR control node in Blender
Here’s a quick tutorial on an HDR control node in Blender. The point is to be able to control the background intensity and the lighting separately. It also gives you the option of having separate background and lighting.

Testing Blender 2.79 features.
Testing out some of the features of Blender 2.79; Shadow catcher, Micro-displacement and Principled BSDF material.
Microdisplacement in Blender is awesome.
Microdisplacement in Blender is an amazing feature. I Definitely need to get a GPU with more memory though.
Yet more Lego, but SpaceX lego this time which is awesome.
Curtis Farnham (http://curtisfarnham.com/lego-spacex) has kindly put his Lego plans for a Falcon 9 on his website. A bit of LeoCad later and the model is in Blender. I wish I had all the Lego parts to actually make this.
Incidentally, I had to start learning Python to get this model working in Blender. Perhaps I’ll polish the code up and publish it here at a later date.
Yet more Lego from my youth. Built brick by brick following the original instructions.
The Lego Thatcher Perkins Steam Engine from the late 1970’s. Original instructions here. More fiddling about in Blender and LeoCad.
When I was young, my parents bought me the first Lego technical set. I wish I still had it, so I remade it in Blender and LeoCad
It was great. It had gears, the engine had functional cylinders and a cam. The seats adjusted. I wish I had taken better care of all the Lego sets I had when I was young.
Grossballs – Blender
A bit of late-night / early morning experimentation and learning.
Ooh, Blender has smoke.

Working with the new GPU-SSS in Blender 2.77
Fiddling about with the new GPU-SSS capabilities of Blender 2.77 (pre-release) and 3D scans from 3Dscanstore.com
My favourite fruit

I love this shape
A sort of modern take on the Cornell box with my favourite shape, the interwoven sphere.
So, I’ve decided to do some 3D printing.
So, I’ve decided to do some 3D printing with Shapeways. Starting with basic shapes, I whipped this up in Blender. I think I want to make geometric jewellery. Now, what to make next?
