March 27, 2020
Since I have my EA PC at home, I’m using its horsepower to create a 3D render every day. Today, I created a piece of art I’m calling ‘Food Balloons’. I modelled the balloons and strings and the background, then added the textures. Its a 4k render again!

Gravity
March 25, 2020
Since we are stuck inside, I decided to dip back into Blender and make a 3D image today. Its supposed to represent being stuck in quarantine. Made totally from scratch, I lit and built the scene and then rendered it out at 4K, using Blender’s denosing plug in.
