Marc's Sketchbook

A mix of texture painting, Blender Internal baking and cycles bake. His name is Sheriff BlackForestHam.


You can do something similar by following the these 2 instructional videos that follow.

You will see how a 3D procedural texture is being used to control particle clones placement.

Anyways, here is some info on how to make effective use of the IvyGen Addon as the tool currently stands. It’s pretty amazing.

Here’s a few models I made after feeling inspired from VickyM’s sketchbook

Doing a bit of testing with the new Cycles Metropolis patch. (the current patch has a problem with camera renders and I forgot to hide the mouse)

Been going through some old models to rebake some indirect lighting into the textures.

an old model I dug up and baked indirect lighting into using Cycles.

Here is how the second dungeon is starting to look.

Great stuff Marc! I LOVE the butterfly and flower!! :smiley:

These lions are simply fantastic!!

Great materials. Very realistic!

Here is the dungeon model loaded to the Sketchfab model viewer.

Why thank you very much Vicky!, and you’re my first comment as well. Nice.

@wanilson_m: thanks!

A weird thing I made a while back.


The rough outline for dungeon level 3 is ready, here it is.

You know me, I like weird things! Very nice! :smiley:

Weird things are fun. Here’s the bug thing in Sketchfab… A bee, or a wasp? Maybe a fly. Who knows. You decide. Oh wait, I see that Vicky says it’s a butterfly from the still render I posted earlier.

We’ll just say my art is abstract instead of incoherant and confusing. Yes… abstract.

I must have been staring at the wings! HAHAHA! Sorry, but make those wings bigger, and you got yourself a nice butterfly :eyebrowlift: Your art isn’t incoherent, I believe that would be ME :stuck_out_tongue:

I was being silly. Self-deprecating humor. You’re right though, they do look like butterfly wings with the holes that sort of look like they could represent those colored patterns we see on butterflies.

Well, regardless of what it’s called, the wings would look awesome with a shader like this applied. http://developer.download.nvidia.com/SDK/9.5/Samples/samples.html#glsl_thinfilm
