Aloysuis and his Room
By Jack Ruttan in Blender 3DHere’s the final version of my “Green Monster” diorama. I find this quite charming. A lot of work went into getting the graphics and the lighting right. While I’m still a beginner in Blender 3D, I learned a lot here. “Aloysuis” is pronounced “Allo-wishus” if anyone doesn’t know.
Monster 3
By Jack Ruttan in Blender 3DI placed a rusty steam pipe into my Blender monster scene, but didn’t have the energy to add a spiffy valve to it, or a lot of joints with bolts on them. Still, I’m pleased with my mastery of the “spin” tool. One more thing learned! #b3d

3D Volkswagen
By Jack Ruttan in Blender 3DWell, I made my 3D Volkswagen. Not perfect, and still a lot I can do, but I think it’s better practice to move on to other projects rather than fiddle with this one indefinitely. However, that’s what computers invite you to do! #b3d

3D Bathroom
By Jack Ruttan in Blender 3D, digitalI’m terribly proud of this bathroom corner, but it needs brighter lighting. The towel was a sophisticated simulation, which I need to practice. The tissue paper was a tour de force, but the box needs a logo of some sort. The program only crashed on me once, so I’ve learned to save more often. Next […]
Christine
By Jack Ruttan in Blender 3D, digital3D is challenging stuff. I’ve learned a little about putting in backgrounds. Lighting is a whole different thing. Also, this is the first car I made. Others are less blocky. But it reminds me of the car from the Stephen King novel. #b3d
Various Men, and a Dragon
By Jack Ruttan in digital, heads, men, paintings, sketchesOne of my big problems with digital was that the line was sort of more wiggly, and things would get away from me. I’m feeling more in control of it now, however, and it’s almost like drawing on paper for me, now. More work, however. Not as relaxing staring into the screen, and thinking about […]
