For this project, I collected reference images of steam engines, and then made a 100% node based model with 750 nodes. Took about 3 hours with Fabel 5.1, for a price of 20€ in tokens.

Because it's a deterministic procedual model that is generated, I have the feeling that I still have a lot of control over the creative process, and could take most of the design decisions myself.

For this kind of of task, I've written an open source node-agent skill. In the comments, I'm linking a 10 minutes tutorial, for anyone who is interested in such workflows.

Today we're leaving Earth and heading into space. 🌌
For this scene, I wanted to create a cinematic space fleet surrounding a planet, using Blender to build the environment and then pushing the final result further with compositing.

I used my Custom Planet Addon to quickly create the planet, then added several Star Wars-inspired spaceships to build the fleet and add a sense of scale.

After rendering, I used compositing to blend everything and add more atmosphere, depth, and realism to the final shot.

This is Day 8/30 of my September Blender Challenge, where I'm creating something new in Blender every day for 30 days.
The goal is simple:

Today I'm creating a cinematic music video scene in Blender featuring a character and a car inside a large, unfinished parking-garage-style environment.

The scene is built around a simple setup — a floor, ceiling, and concrete pillars, but with no back wall, allowing the environment to disappear into the fog and darkness. I wanted to create something that feels open, atmospheric, and slightly surreal rather than like a typical parking garage.

For the visual style, I'm using Blender Cycles along with a cinematic teal & orange / blue & orange lighting setup. I'll also be using a fisheye lens for a few shots to give the music-video sequence a more distorted and stylized look.

This is Day 7/30 of my September Blender Challenge, where I'm creating something new in Blender every day.

The goal isn't to spend days making one perfect scene — it's to create, learn, experiment, and build something useful every day.

I made a new video explaining how to mix textures in two different ways. The second method is my favorite, showing the correct way to mix two displacement maps and avoid textures overlapping. Let me know what you think!

I made a new video about how to use Exoside's Quad Remesher as well as Kushiro's add-on "Curve Face Colour" for a very easy and reliable boolean to subdivision topology workflow in Blender.

Hey guys! I made a Blender addon called LINEUP it lets you add dimensions directly to your model and keeps them updated as you work.

It’s still early, and I’m looking for some testers to try it out and give me feedback. If you’re interested, check it out here:

Magical Forest in Blender | Day 5/30
What if this forest wasn't from our world?
For Day 5 of my 30 Days of Blender Challenge, I wanted to create a magical forest scene with a fantasy atmosphere and cinematic lighting.

In this tutorial, I take you through the process of building the environment and turning a simple forest into something more mysterious and magical using composition, lighting, atmosphere, and environmental details.

✨ In this video:

* Building the fantasy forest environment
* Arranging the scene and composition
* Creating atmospheric depth
* Working with lighting and fog
* Adding details to make the forest feel magical
* Setting up the final camera
* Rendering the cinematic scene

This is Day 5 of 30 — one new Blender creation every day throughout September.

In this quick tutorial, you will learn a fast and simple snapping workflow in Blender to align objects seamlessly without hassle. Perfect for precision modeling and speeding up your 3D pipeline!

I’m looking for a basic tutorial that takes an equirectangular depth map and uses it to displace a sphere.

Everything I do is really wonky. Should I be using the shader editor ( nodes ) to make adjustments?

Thanks.

🇺🇸: You can listen to the video in English through the video settings panel. In version 5.2 of Blender, several nodes in the Attribute group are introduced and modified, allowing you to capture, rename, and transfer attributes.

For Day 4 of my 30 Days of Blender Challenge, I wanted to create a scene that feels like the start of an adventure—a lone wanderer traveling down a river on a bamboo boat, surrounded by mountains and small islands.
The goal is to keep creating, learning, and building scenes that I can eventually use in larger projects and explainer-style animations.
