Chosen Tower -

The Chosen had no need for Omani oil, and shut down the production immediately. The invaders had far more interest in the vast swaths of sand than anything that laid beneath them.

Wide shot, exterior, dusk -

A Scholar caste greater archon performs some sort of miracle on one of a line of large crystals through the desert. Behind them, a large tower rises out of the sand. The archon is accompanied by a human being in a small car next to them.

Wide shot, exterior, dusk -

A large, seven sided tower with two integrated side towers and 2 landing pads on the top. At the top of each side tower is a large tree. An air vehicle is flying away from the tower.

WIP of the Plucky Puffin artwork : Some of you were curious about the render in Blender. (For a better view, click on the 1:1 button on the right upper corner! ) #art #mastoart #fediart #krita #blender3d

4 images - Process of Plucky Puffin.
I. A render from above - created with Blender
II./III. Model details of the sushi & radio.
IV. The final artwork (>2 months of work) was painted with Krita.

Plucky means having determined courage in the face of difficulties.
Puffins are resilient, coping with harsh weather conditions, climate change & habitat loss.

I chose to give the Puffin a profession as a Sushi chef, wearing a fancy hat with intricate patterns, next to taking care of the little puffy pufflings. It takes a long time to be a chef. Puffins' diet consists of a lot of fresh fish.

Water clashes against basalt stones inspired by Iceland, a region where these birds live while caring for their young ones.

Center: Chef Plucky Puffin rolls the next meal with the bamboo mat, nervously looking at the puffling that studies the menu, unsure what to order.

The chef moves to the left side, checking if the "customers" are well cared for. Tuning the radio if the music frequency isn't to everybody's liking. I chose to give the radio a "compass frequency".

The Puffin slides to the front right side, serving a hungry but happy puffling. Others wait for the last one to order or can't hesitate to enjoy these delicacies.

The table is set: natural wooden bowls, kitchen utensils, rice, wasabi, ginger, fresh fish, serving boards, a sesame shaker, and coral decorations. It is as cozy as possible to forget about the harsh world.

Background: A volcano is erupting & thunder is striking.

Hey everyone, we've just shared a fantastic Cosmic Web Geometry Nodes effect for Blender. It is useful for creating superstructures resembling galactic filaments – that actually run super fast and are super well optimized.

Gotta hand it to Brady Johnston for sharing this crazy fast Plexus. And a major thanks to Erindale‬ for the always incredibly helpful Discord community for fans.

Check the tutorial & the downloads:

Prison -

The Chosen had a complex, just and fair legal code that focused more on rehabilitation than punishment, and was highly successful....and of course, NONE of it applied to non-Chosen.

Wide shot, interior -

A seven-layer prison atrium, with seven walls filled with doors to hallways of cells. Seven tables are bolted to the floor on the ground level, but only one is occupied by inmates, the rest of the space is liminal and empty.

Medium shot, interior -

Two inmates are having a fairly animated conversation at a table, while a third walks behind them.

In this video we look at the process of setting up PBR textures in Blender, for Cycles and Eevee. We'll also look at how to use Ambient Occlusion textures, as well as how to convert the displacement to real geometry. https://youtu.be/qxxoDYGrvtwIn #Blender3D #B3D #Blender
