Encounter In The Wasteland

A small astronaut walks alone across a rugged, sunlit rocky terrain toward a towering humanoid robot. The robot, silvery and majestic, stands motionless against a bright sky, illuminated by golden sunlight from the left. Its posture is upright and powerful, almost guardian-like. The astronaut appears tiny in comparison, emphasizing the scale difference. The scene evokes a sense of awe, wonder, and anticipation—like a meeting between humanity and an ancient or advanced mechanical giant. The atmosphere is peaceful, with soft clouds above and long shadows cast across the rocks.

Flight over Spitzbergen. Approaching Longyearbyen from the north-east.

DEM source: Norwegian Polar Institute (2014). Terrengmodell Svalbard (S0 Terrengmodell) [Dataset]. Norwegian Polar Institute. https://doi.org/10.21334/NPOLAR.2014.DCE53A47

Used #QGIS to add an 'skyview factor' raster to add texture (ambient occlusion would also work here, with a bit of tweaking)

#Blender

A cinematic-style flight over Spitzbergen. The camera flies fast and low along a glacial valley, flies over a pass, descends into another valley, banks quickly and skims across water. It finishes flying low above the valley where Longyearbyen is, before ascending skywards.

his name is Big Dipper and I love him

the DIP from before but now it's an animated walking creature, still with the :3 and wiggly tail, now also squninty eyes. It's walking on a PCB.

trying out #Blender 4.5 LTS. Now includes a built in '.OBJ import' geometry node.

Found a quick way to fix my DEM-derived meshes, to get rid of lakes - or lochs, this one is Scotland :)

Before, I'd go into edit mode, select a flat face, select-similar with a normal difference of 0, and delete the faces

This geometry nodes setup does the same thing, but faster and non-destructively.

Comparison is really dot-product equals 1 (or > .999999)

Visualising the length of Chile, by rotating it around the globe to compare with other countries and continents.

#Blender#QGIS

A globe cantered on Chile, which is highlighted in red. The globe rotates (and sometimes Chile does, too) to compare it to the size of other locations. Comparisons are made to Mexico and West coast of Contiguous USA, Mediterranean, Indonesia, Australia, Antarctica and Africa, in that order.

Excited to launch a tutorial series for #Blender + #BonsaiBIM — built around a real-world pocket neighborhood project.

120+ concise, beginner-friendly videos (~4.5 min each) take you from modeling a simple cube to producing a clean construction drawing set.

Includes open libraries for entourage, materials, drawing standards & prefab modeling — no need to reinvent the wheel.

20% of revenue supports Bonsai / IfcOpenShell dev.

Animation visualising the speed of an Edinburgh tram journey from Newhaven to Edinburgh Airport (the full route)

Time scale is approximately 1 sec of animation to 1 minute real time, the whole trip took about an hour.

Red is slow, yellow is fast. Speeded up a lot past Haymarket, when the tracks diverge from the road network.

Used data copyright #OpenStreetMap contributors in QGIS to snap the points to route

#Blender#QGIS#Edinburgh

A 3d animation. The camera follows the tram route from above looking forward The track is a worm-like series of spheres, sized and coloured by speed. Stations show up as blue domes, with the station title above
