Today, Campbell ‘Ideasman’ Barton showed me a very cool .blend file he made to demonstrate Blender’s Array Modifier, new in the upcoming Blender version 2.42. I thought I’d light, comp and render it to make a nice demo movie to use in the 2.42 release documentation. The white 3D axes are the controller objects. Check it out:

After doing a fair bit of concept art for Elephants Dream, I’ve decided I need to get back into sketching more regularly not only because I’ve enjoyed it, but because its a very useful skill to have, and I’d like to practise and try and get my fundamentals more solid.

I signed up to conceptart.org and made myself a sketchbook to keep motivated and hopefully get some constructive feedback. Let’s see if I can make a habit of posting my updates here as well from time to time, starting with this.
