Here is a tree I modeled in ngPlant, and imported into Blender. I made my own leaf texture from the red bud tree in front of my house.

I’m continuing through the Nature Academy from the Blenderguru, Andrew Price. This is my week two creation. I loved being able to generate infinite variations of the rocks based on the coordinates option with the empty.

I’ve been going through the Nature Academy from the Blenderguru. This is my week one creation. The topic was grass. This is looking like it will be a very exciting series.

My mom is a fantastic painter who is always creating new pieces of art for her family. For her birthday, I decided to try to make my first piece of artwork for her.

The background I created for my son’s first birthday card. This was modeled in Blender, rendered in Luxrender, and finally composited in Photoshop for the final card.

I needed a new shelf to house my computer equipment and fileserver in the basement. So, I modeled it in Blender for scale, and purchased materials based off the quantities used. The final product looks and functions just like my model.

This is a test render with Luxrender using it’s latest absorption features. I can’t wait to try this out with water.

This was a 3D model created in Autodesk Revit. It was created for use in the presentation. As a side benefit we extracted quantities from the building and sidework cut and fill for an estimate.
