Golden joystick

Gem — Sun, 07 Oct 2007 16:29:54 +0000

Here is a render from Blender3D of the joystick that was spray painted gold as a trophy for one of Termisoc’s previous LAN parties. I changed the top around a bit, the real one has a turbo switch on the left side of the button, I left it out because I didn’t want it cluttered.

I am considering presenting another tutorial on 3D modelling for Termisoc this year.

Soldering Iron Stand

I made this one today, modelled from the solder iron stand that sits on my desk. This one I rendered with the “edge” switched on, it gives a really cool cartoon effect.

At the rate I’m accumulating cool pics I think I might have to put up a gallery somewhere on this site.

This is my latest render. It is the end result of this tutorial. I was really surprised at the results because all of the modelling was done using basic methods that I had already used in Blender. I was getting worried about the upcoming Termisoc tutorial I’m doing on the subject because I wasn’t sure I could make something that looked fairly decent but is suitable for blender noobs.

It was rendered using Blender‘s internal renderer with raytracing turned on.

Modelling my scooter

I’ve decided to try and model my scooter using Blender. The picture below is part of what I’ve got already, the left handlebar grip. I’ve also done some of the wheel and the seat.

The basic shape is a cylinder which was subsurfed and extruded to make the basic shape, the texture for the grip was created using a displacement map.

Blending

With the release of Blender 2.40 I’ve been trying to get into 3D modeling. Here is a quick image I put together in less than 5 minutes (after watching the video tutorial on Dupliverting).

The image above was made bt dupliverting a NURBS Sphere onto an IcoSphere and then applying a Ramp as the material in order to achieve the pink shading effect.
