New Pottery

Here are the first two pieces finished pieces for my pottery class.  Its good to be back after 2 years.  I will have a few more bowls and vases coming soon, and I hope to start working on a teapot.

The metal figure is also coming along.  Next week I will have all of the appendages assembled, so I'm planning on taking some photos and posting them.

SpaceScape

I've been thinking about how to make a nice space-like background for MicroSwarmigism.  Even though it takes place in the ocean, I like the way that space backgrounds look.  I was watching a tutorial on Unity, and it mentioned SpaceScape by Alex Peterson. Its a free tool specifically for making space backgrounds.  It always amazes me how people make these free tools, and then just release them for everyone to use, for free.  I made this one using a tutorial.

Jelly Time

Trying out some jellyfish styles.  Made in Photoshop, Blender, and, for the first time, Sculptris.  Sculptris is a great free sculpting program, made by Pixologic.  Pixologic also makes ZBrush, which is an amazing but extremely expensive program for sculpting detailed 3D models.  I think its awesome that they would come out with a free version.   Its still in beta, but works fine most of the time.   I'm hoping to use it to make something more complex and interesting.
