Scared Generation
Failed attempt to make a bigger sculpture. On the backside something went wrong unfortunately. But a lot of lessons learned.
Made in Daz3D, exported to Fusion360 via Blender.
Come on in, the water is fine!
My latest woodcarving project. I still have to fine tune some things. For one.. the arms still floating above the water a little bit. Thereafter I’m going to experiment with oil or lacquer.
Hongkong Revisit
I am still tweaking my Hongkong image. The lighting is very difficult. There is an inside and an outside scene in one. But I like doing this tweaking stuff.. it’s educational 🙂
Dremel Flexible Shaft Holder
My dremel cnc can only cut away wood up till a height of 40mm. So my plan is to have drill sideways so I can cut away on the side of parts that cannot be turned. Here is a test holder.
This wood splits too easily (I’m such a Noob) so I’m going to make a new one, using mdf. Hopefully it will be stronger than.
Porsche Spider II
Making this model is not easy. The body took some time in Blender but was ok once on the cnc machine. The wheels were easy in Fusion 360 but really hard once on the cnc machine. Alignment was difficult. I think I have about 20 failed attempts. Still have to make the steering wheel.
Willem Koekkoek
I saw this painting from Willem Koekkoek at Tefaf in Maastricht. I did not have the budget to buy it, but I really liked it. According Wikipedia Willem Koekkoek was known for his idealized paintings of Holland.
CNC Refurbish
I’m working on a cnc machine from the Makerspace Leiden. This unfinished design was made in Fusion360.
Porsche Spider
Work in progress. I’m still working on the wheels and other details.
Young Rebel
This is a work in progress. I’m planning to finish this image somewhat different. No Star Wars for one. But the Star Wars bug got me. So I added the stormtrooper (thx JJ Palomo) and the rebel logo and called it finished.
The original plan is inspired by ArtStation. I really love the 2d concept art images on this site. I wanted to make concept art too but with 3d , because I can’t draw or paint well. So my initial drive was to make a fast build, sculpted and textured image. I failed. Most meshes are build extremely fast, but then I got caught up in details.
I’m learning Blender and by taking on a whole project is often times the best way; lather, rinse, repeat. I had to go back to 3ds Max a few times, but found it difficult to find my way around. Some other external programs were used. Blender is getting there but there are a few specialized programs, better suited for some stuff, out there. There are so many tutorials on how to do Blender that I can’t even start to thank all the makers, but thank you all.
