This is also the first time I've actually used #blender3d generated elements in a film. In this case, the work I did was the less obvious stuff. The set we shot on only had the back and side walls, so we had to make the cell door.

Got a little more #blender3d time in today. Slowly working my way around camera controls and key points, but now I think I really need to learn more about lighting.

Good morning from can I go back to sleep!

I'm making things! Completed an amazing #blender3d tutorial (youtu.be/2oV48DAvwYg) to create this planet. Had to forgo the atmosphere because some things have changed in Blender, but the artist commented that I should check out one of their newer videos for an even better procedure.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

I feel pretty good about this! But I haven't finished season 2 yet, so maybe I'm in for a rude awakening.

I've learned just enough @blender3d.bsky.social to model janky starships and animate them with camera moves, which is now incredibly useful for pre-vis and communicating ideas with other artists. This is getting fun!

Finally got a physical copy of the classics that brought me to this franchise to begin with!

For the briefest of moments, I thought this might be legit. But I'm guessing it's kind of impossible. Can any #blender3d experts confirm or deny this motion tracking miracle?

Took me a minute to find it but I see it now

Doing some temp VFX work, painting in ceilings at the moment and looking for inspiration. One of these days, I really need to get around to learning Blender.

The calm before the storm, when it's just a simple edit without corrections, normalization, VFX, SFX, music, and more. Just look at that timeline—so innocent, so naive. #StarTrek #StarshipCaliborn #FinalCutPro

Don't know the source or how old this is, but it made me laugh

I've been (re)learning Spanish since Covid started and have been looking forward to the 1000-day mark for a while now, but I actually find this more visually pleasing.
