"M O O N"

A 3D recreation in Blender of a photo I took last year, using lunar DEM data from NASA's Goddard Space Center.

"Rite of Passage"

Most everyone’s journey in Blender features a wine bottle and glass, often several times. The combination of simple curves and shiny surfaces often compels 3D artists to explore the combination over and over, much as still life scenes inspire painters.

This is my version, differentiated from most by the substitution of a port sipping pipe (derived from a 17th century English design) in place of the classic wine glass, and a bottle that moves between rectangular and circular profiles. Managing a 16K HDRI with 17 exposure levels for reflections was also a focus of the work.
