AO & OO Blender Artwork
Posted: Tue Oct 07, 2008 5:34 pm
As some of you know, I'm a big fan of Blender (an open-source 3D modeling/rendering program). Since I'm not able to play right now, I figured I'd render up a few images to work on my 3D art skills. At Sorhan's request, I decided to post them here.
The first image is going to be my new AO load screen. I haven't quite figured out what resolution to use to avoid the image stretching to fit my screen (I've tried matching my screen res, and it still distorts), so I left it the same size as the original load screen. The purple highlighting came out a bit stronger than I wanted, but I think the overall result is okay.
The second image (not attached below, for obvious reasons) is what became my avatar here. I rendered it five times larger than it currently is, then resampled it downward to 80x80, to keep as much detail as possible.
The third image is my take on our Obsidian Order logo that you click to get the forum index page (Somehow, having a bright, happy logo doesn't feel right to me.
). I took the idea that obsidian is essentially black glass and ran with it. Of course, the 'obsidian' texture didn't come out quite as shiny and slick-looking as the real thing, but I'm pretty pleased with the result anyway.
I'll probably create a new signature image too, but that'll come later today, as I don't have too much more time online.
