"Summer on a Stick, No. 2: Candy Apple"

In Calgary, summer is associated with Stampede and the fairground. As we start to warm up, I wanted to create a series of quick fair food renders in Blender, a series I call “Summer on a Stick”.

This is the second one, a candy apple. I found the candy apple shader particularly hard to get right; in the end, I used a combination of approaches I've previously used for car and oil paint, although I'm still less than perfectly pleased with the result.

“Unknown Pleasures”

A render of the classic Joy Division album cover, using Blender’s Geometry Nodes. I plan to use this as a music visualizer in a future project.

Designed by Peter Saville, the cover image is a ridgeline plot of successive radio pulses from PSR B1919+21, the first radio pulsar discovered by Jocelyn Bell Burnell. The image was originally created for a doctoral dissertation by Harold Craft.

Credit to u/Deadlibor on Reddit for the original node setup.

“Meganeura Trapped in Amber"

Turntable animation of an ancient insect in Blender. Related to dragonflies, Meganeura was one of the largest flying insects ever, with a wingspan of about 65–75 cm (2.13–2.46 ft). As such, it’s very unlikely that one would be captured by tree sap, so this portrays the animal in its nymph form.

This is also an experiment in Pixelfed's HDR support. Apologies in advance for any tone mapping issues: I'm still learning color grading & management.

"Doomsday Vault 78°N - Approach"

SOUND ON, headphones suggested.

Quite proud of this: while there's still lots of work to do and things for me to learn, I feel like things are coming together. Inspired by the Global Seed Vault in Svalbard, Norway.
