25.11.25: sci-fi tape thing

First image with the new twice-weekly format! Also the video version (in the Tumblr version linked in the reply) makes the weird effect on the rectangles animate.

#blender #3dart #lowpoly
A 3D model of a dark-grey VHS tape-like object labelled "Digitape", with two rectangular sections on the front that have a strange rainbow effect in them.

Also I imagine the decoded video looking kinda like this (original image is a Beamng screenshot I took ages ago):
A grainy, high-contrast greyscale picture of some garages and warehouses, with a city in the distance. Near the foreground is a billboard that says "Got a lemon? We pay top dollar for scrap-ready cars of any make!" above a sign for "Trusted Auto Sales".

Fictional analogue media format, called "Sheetscan"! It uses sheets with patterns on them, which can be decoded into video... somehow. And with no sound.
A design for a fake media player. It resembles a beige plastic printer or fax machine, but with play/pause, eject and fast-forward/rewind buttons, and a small plaque with "Sheetscan" written under the buttons. In and next to the machine are a pair of sheets of paper with patterns of rectangles; the one in the machine is titled "Wonders of modern science", while the one next to it is titled "How to operate your Sheetscan machine".

An attempt at recreating the malformed look of AI-generated text, I guess.

No generative AI was used in this post. I will never use generative AI in any of my work.
Two lines of text, both of which say "Sample text". The top one is clear, written in the font Arial; the bottom one has been modified. The bottom curve on the S is longer, the bar in the middle of the A is removed and the top flange part is a loop, the second hump on the M is squished, the hole on the P is smaller and offset, the L has a curved flange on the bottom, the E in "sample"'s hole is smaller and the bottom of it is angled slightly, the first T in "text" has a shorter top-bar and left-side bar, and the second T in "text" has a more angular bottom curve and a flipper top bar.

20.11.25: USB stick

Starting from today, I'm changing how I do these things in two ways. The images will be their own posts rather than part of a thread, and I will only post them every Tuesday and Thursday (since making these was taking up way too much of my time).

#blender #3dart #lowpoly
A 3D render of a USB stick. It's lime-green, and written on it is the name of its (fictional) manufacturer, Digistore.

19.11.25: 2000s handheld

The sky for this one is an image, rendered in Cycles using a panoramic camera (which is also how I do environment maps when I use those).
A 3D render of a 2000s-inspired handheld game console. The faceplate is dark-blue, with the name "Portapad" at the top. At the sides are a pair of plus-shaped button-pads; the left one has triangles pointing towards the end of each branch of the plus, while the right one has, anticlockwise from bottom, a red A, a yellow X, a green Y, and a blue B. At the bottom are two rounded rectangular buttons labelled "Start" and "Select". The handheld's screen, in the middle of the faceplate, is blue with a subtle gradient and several pale rings in the background. On the screen are five purple rounded squares, two of which are cut off at the edges. The three fully-visible ones are labelled "SD Card", with an icon of two overlapping pictures; "Music", with two music notes; and "Settings", which has two 3D-looking gears. The handheld is floating over a white square, inside a wireframe cube; outside is a blue void, with the sun visible out of one of the corners.

18.11.25: alarm clock

I would have done a proper 7-segment display, but I. Couldn't be bothered.
A 3D render of an angular dark-blue digital alarm clock. There's a button on the top that's textured to look like it's made out of glow-in-the-dark rubber, with the word "snooze" written on it (though barely legible due to the angle). The clock's screen is displaying the time 15:25, which was the time while I was working on it. Rather than a 7-segment display, it has 3x4 grids of squares.

Table :)
A 3D render of a coffee table on a wooden floor. Resting on top of the table is a book with a green cover, which features a stylised golden "LMB" symbol.

So I noticed something funny about the "snap to vertex" icon in Blender...
A heavily-cropped screenshot of Blender's "Snap" dropdown. The "Vertex" option has been edited to say "Greggs"; next to it is an icon of four squares in a grid, resembling the logo of British bakery/restaurant chain Greggs.

16.11.25: Lego Alien Conquest gun

This model was inspired by the worldmodels in Half-Life, specifically the Magnum and Shotgun.
A 3D model of the Lego part 95199, also known as the Alien Conquest gun. It's a grey pistol with two chrome barrels. On the top of its back section is a logo consisting of the initials "ADU" written in yellow.

An experiment with making a first-person viewmodel animation, that ended up way more retro-looking than I intended, mostly because I found a Reddit post that explained how to do vertex wobble (the person who made the post also made a plugin that. I might get)

15.11.25: '80s-inspired videophone

Now we're up to date! This is, at time of writing, the most recent of these. This is probably the best one I've done so far in my opinion, and I'm very proud of it, even if the scale is a bit off.
A 3D render of a strange device resembling a combination of a landline phone, a woodgrain-covered VCR, and a small, equally woodgrain-covered CRT TV. Next to it is a VHS tape box. The whole thing is on a wooden disk that fades towards the edges.

14.11.25: hologram projector and PDA 2

Again, I missed two days in a row, so for this day I made two things.
A low-resolution 3D model of a futuristic hologram-projection device. The projector itself is dark grey, and has small blue circles around its edge. In the middle of the top is a larger blue circle, with a trapezoidal beam; at the top of this beam is a blue rounded cube with a tiled dotted texture laid over it. A futuristic slate-blue PDA. Unlike the first one, this one is almost all screen, with no buttons or knobs. Its screen is light-blue, with bubbles in the background similar to the flip-phone from several models ago. The screen has three sections at the top of its screen, labelled "Notes", "Map" and "Logs", the latter of which is selected. A list of people is shown, each with a name and job next to them, along with a number of audio logs and the title of their most recent one. Top to bottom: Jack Moore, chief financial officer; a man with spiky hair, semicircular glasses, and a white shirt with a tie. He has 4 logs, with the most recent titled "Missing Expenses". Miranda Zhang, head of security; a woman wearing a boxy helmet and angular armour. She has 2 logs, with the most recent titled "Strange Sightings". Jeff Mars, chief medical officer; a man with a ponytail, wearing a light-coloured jacket over a darker shirt. He has 6 logs, with the most recent titled "A New Breakthrough". Lillian Hart, test subject; a person with a partially-shaved hairstyle, wearing a shirt with unreadably-small text on it. They have 1 log, titled "Vision Implant Subject Log". G-15 Facility Command System, test subject; a pentagonal symbol with G-15 written on it, with "Facility Command System" written under it. It has 18 logs, with the most recent titled "Thoughts on my Sentience part VII".

11.11.25: drink machine

"Dune Zest" is an injoke I have with my brother. Also the day after this I got distracted building an off-brand Lego set, and the day after *that* I was violently ill, so I missed two days.
A 3D model of a soft-drink machine. It has a label at the top with the name "Dune Zest" in white-outlined orange text on a blue background, with a stylised sun between the two words. The machine's release-lever is being pushed by a drink cup, with the name of a fictional restaurant, "Ol' Frank's Hotdogs" written on it (though it's obscured by the angle). The cup is filled with a teal liquid.

10.11.25: old TV

I used a lot of neat techniques for this one, including making the image (and video) render at a lower resolution than the actual image size as set in Blender. Also, any polygons not visible in the turnaround video were removed for added authenticity to the aesthetic.
A 3D model of a very low-resolution old-fashioned "upright" TV, with an inbuilt shelf and a paler region around the screen. The shelf has a framed greyscale portrait, and a plant in a lime-green pot.

09.11.25: phones

I was at a wedding on the 8th, so I couldn't do a model then. To make up for it, I made a model with four different texture variants.
A 3D render of four 2000s-inspired mobile phones. Each of them has five buttons (call" and "hang up" buttons with pictures of phone handhelds, the former pointing up and the latter pointing down; "previous" and "next" buttons with arrows pointing left and right respectively; a nested pair of hexagonal buttons, with the smaller one having the word "menu" written on it). The phones' screens have the word "Call" written on them, stylised into a logo; the letter C has three rectangles emerging from it, like stylised sun-rays. This logo is also visible at the bottom of each phone, and in the bottom-right corner of the image. Each phone is a different colour. From left to right, they are blue, green, pink and red.

07.11.25: THE AMULET

I had artist's block so I made a magic amulet. The reflection effect is some Blender magic that I can't explain within Bluesky's character limit.
A simplistic 3D model of a golden amulet. There's a green gem in the middle, with a four-pointed star-shaped symbol "inside" it, and a circular reflection on the left side relative to the viewer. The amulet has a chain coming out of the far side.

06.11.25: cursed childrens' handheld

This was a fun one! Also the first (and so far only) part of this series to use Blender Cycles for the final render.
A 3D model of an LCD handheld inspired by V-Tech and other child-aimed electronics companies. The front is slightly shiny and white, with the screen in the middle; the device's name, "Playpad", is written beneath the screen, while its manufacturer's name, "Learnsoft", is written above it. The outside edge of the handheld is lime-green and matte. The face of the device has three buttons; two small ones, one red and one green, and a larger one on the other side that's blue. Attached to the back of the device is a rusted metal bracket, with a two-dimensional sprite of a black-and-red orb peeking around the edge. A blob of shiny red flesh creeps over the top of the handheld, covering part of the "Learnsoft" name. The screen shows a simplistic illustration of a humanoid being with a bullseye-like head. Beneath it is text that reads "Warning! Entity located in vicinity".

05.11.25: microcomputer

This one is weird...
A very crunchy 3D render of an '80s-inspired microcomputer. The keyboard is a complete mess and there are weird vents on the sides. A label above the keyboard says, in very low-resolution text, "Commander PAL", the name of the computer (and a reference to the Commodore PET", which the model was inspired by).

04.11.25: flip-phone

Purple flip-phone. A test for using DXT compression on textures.
A 3D render of a purple 2000s flip-phone. It has rubbery-looking buttons, two of which have phone handset symbol. One of the symbols is green, while the other is red and crossed out. The phone's screen is purple, with three bubbles in the background. The name "Polyphone" is written at the top. At the bottom are "menu" and "names" options, and above them are the clock (showing the time 05:45) and date (November 4th).

03.11.25: computer

Some kind of computer that ended up a lot more retrofuturistic than I was intending. Technically from the 4th, but I made it on the 3rd so. Yeah
A 3D model of an orange computer with an inbuilt light-blue monochrome screen. The computer's base has the name "Computis X9" written on it, below a disk slot with three lights; one green, one off, and one orange. There's a star-shaped sticker on the corner closest to the viewer. There are two buttons on the left side of the case's front that have glowing light-blue "power" and "eject disc" symbols. The computer's screen displays a simplified illustration of a CRT monitor above the word "Computis".

02.11.25: sci-fi PDA

A Doom 3-inspired PDA.
A 3D render of a grey-and-yellow personal data assistant (or "PDA"). It has a monochrome cyan screen and a knob. The screen features a logo for a company called "Erebus Industries" above text that says "Audio Logs" above a box with several names and audiolog titles, which piece together a narrative about a scientist who goes missing, is found dead, comes back to life, and then an interdimensional invasion happens.
