Square version for BSKY, rendered in #b3d 🚀 18 kWh, no post-processing. #space #scifi #art
The advantage of building 3D worlds properly, even if they're only used for a single image, is that they can easily be used for animations. However, perfecting every detail is an entirely different challenge. This is from my 'Domes in Space' series. #b3d #space #scifi #art

Playing a bit with my latest model ;) I'm still a newbie when it comes to animation... I'm just not doing it often enough. But this was fun! #b3d #space

And the last (for now at least) piece in Sunrise 2 series - astronauts exit the lander to look at the blue martian sunrise, with a Sunrise 1 lander in the distance.

This is a dreamier take on my 'Domes in Space' series. Darker and designed to be non-distracting - a perfect desktop background.

This shows the botanical domes of my ship as it uses a gravity assist from a ringed planet.

Sputnik, Venus Pioneer and Viking 1. This is part of a series with a historical journey through the solar system. I wanted to create a small memento of the beginning of space missions and have recreated NASA's space probes (and one soviet one) using old pictures/information. #space #scifi #b3d

Posting older work is always a challenge. I can’t help but think about how I’d do things differently now. But back then, it felt right, so I resist the urge to change it and leave it as it is.

Done in #blender, 2023. Own work, background: NASA.

Test Render Saturday! I experimented with something some months ago and ended up with this image on my hard drive. I probably won’t revisit it, so here it is, just as it is.

Pure #blender, no external postprocessing.
Own work, no AI. #b3d #space #scifi #art

The botanical domes from my last post take shape in these vast assembly halls. While robots do most of the work, the final touch is always in human hands.

Pure #Blender, no external post-processing.
Own work. Some modified assets from BlenderKit. No AI.

Some images feel like scraps from other projects, and they are not good enough for release. This one (left) became my desktop background and grew on me. It’s calm and invites daydreaming. I’m reworking it to improve the quality, but it’s not there yet. (right)

Hello to all the new people coming to Bluesky!

As a welcome treat, here's my version of 2001's Discovery, built with parts from my upcoming 3d kitbash pack. In the 2001 book by A.C. Clarke, the original destination was Saturn's moon Iapetus, instead of Jupiter.

I'm always working to improve my skills. While the asteroid mining ship in this image is the same model as seen before, I've significantly reworked the materials and enhanced the post-processing. Everything is still done entirely within Blender. www.deviantart.com/chgloor/art/...

Presenting another space-themed image I've created, showcasing the arrival of a generation ship at a colonized planet. I aimed to capture a mural-like style for this piece. Made using Blender/Cycles.

A new sci-fi image -- pure #Blender/Cycles. Own work. No AI.

After lifting everything into orbit, they started the construction of a huge mining rig. They wanted to reach an asteroid for metal extraction, a far more efficient method than grappling with Earth's gravity for resources.

This is a #sci-fi short film I made. It's about a spaceship with rotating botanical domes that passes a ringed ice planet. #art #space #blender

A colonized ice planet surrounded by majestic rings. I can only imagine the mesmerizing sight of those rings against the crystal-clear skies. However, I'm not so keen on the frigid temperatures ❄️ #Art #Science #ScienceFiction for the moment, but the future is open.
