HardOps doodle
Tried to familiarize myself with the HardOps-plugin for Blender.
Spaceship concept
Been working in Substance Painter the last couple of nights, on the latest spaceship concept. Not all done yet, some smaller details left still…
Mesh in parts
I’m working on a spaceship in Blender, which I plan to texture in Substance Painter. In order to get cleaner texture bakes, I chose to split up the mesh in different parts. This will mostly help out the normal map bake, when in tight spaces where projection errors otherwise might occur.
UV-bonanza
Took up an old project – a concept vehicle – from a while back. The aim is to import it into Substance Painter, to tinker a bit, learning the in’s and out’s of the application. Here you see some prepared uv’s for the model in question. Tried to keep the different islands as logically grouped …read more
Blender 2.8
A couple of nights ago I downloaded the experimental build of Blender 2.8. Mostly to have a look at the status of the new realtime renderer EEVEE, but also to check other stuff that lurks around the corner.
Lowpoly animation
Working at UR resulted in a lot of rigging and animating lowpoly characters. Here are a couple of previews of sequences I made for some of the animals.
VR panoramas online
I just discovered roundme.com – an online service where you can upload panoramas and create virtual tours easily. To try it out, I created a tour using some old panorama renders of my apartment, from an old 3DSMax-scene. We’ll see if I add some more stuff there later on. https://roundme.com/@tobiasniva
Money Monster
Watched the movie Money Monster the other night: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2241351/ Got a hit of Blender-abstinence when I saw the show’s backdrop – Money Monster backdrop – and this was the result. Didn’t spend time to find the actual fonts…
niva3d.com – v.2.0.16
Tweaked the theme of this site to better respond to different screen sizes as well as utilizing swiping and zooming in the various galleries.
Veil Painter
Inspired by the old Flame Painter by Escape Motions, I wanted to try and see if I could make something similar. My take on it – Veil Painter. 🙂
To tag, or not to tag…
…that’s the question. I added tags to my posts, to be able to somewhat sort them separate from the overall categories. I made this as a result wanting to link to more specific images when applying for certain jobs. Not sure if I’m keeping this though…
Game Of Life
Another late-night-tinkering resulted in this version of Conway´s Game Of Life. If you are on a device that supports flash you can test it here: GameOfLife_WEB.swf
Attractor – an app for making flames
Last couple of nights I tinkered with some flash and math…and ended up writing this application. It takes some parameters and plots a bunch of pixels to screen… If you are on a device that supports flash you can test it here: Attractor_WEB.swf NOTE! The web-version above does not support saving images or presets…so if …read more
New home for Gimbal Games
During the re-design of niva3d.com my pet project Gimbal Games moved to a new home!
niva3d.com v.2.0.14
Yup. Now it´s here – the brand new, non-flash, wordpress, boring, plain version of niva3d.com. Not much to add actually. Enjoy. If you feel like it.
