Nausea and depression -eat that, Bonnard.

Modeling. And some subtle bump on the yellow bits.

Not that realistic, really. If you look at photos of the real thing, you'll see there's a lot more detail there.

My version is firmly cg-y, and proud to be.

‘Musty’ is an underappreciated quality in interior visualization.

I was in the mood for some good ol' creepy cg lighting. Point lights, baby!

I checked your blog. Some nice work on there.

SU + Modo + taedium vitae

Can't have enough sad renders of sad sculptures.

Q: What is the best software for 3D Rendering?

A: The one that you enjoy using.

This. Also: do not fall for hype. Always, always try before you buy.

Their stuff is indeed superb. Wholeheartedly recommended.

Richard Yot has released a tutorial on post-processing. I cannot stress this enough: Yot’s stuff is downright fantastic. His tuts are among the best I’ve ever seen -and I watch a lot of tutorials.

No, I don’t know him, and I do not work for him.

There’s a 25% early bird discount, valid until the 6th of August. Use the code process at checkout.

This might be of interest to some. I haven't bought it, so I cannot comment on the quality.

I use Modo (and SU, obviously) myself, but one cannot deny Blender's a pretty decent app. Development's great, lots of free (or cheap) plugins, tons of learning resources -and now Eevee ...

Also, the Blender Foundation is transparent about Blender's development, as are many of the plugin developers about their stuff. From my perspective, that's something commercial developers could learn from.

If I were to start over, I'd choose Blender.

Yeah, yeah. You won. Let it go already.

I quite enjoyed the game. Some weird decisions by the ref, though.

Those Croats have grit, I'll give 'em that. I know quite a few people who'd loved to have seen a Belgium-Croatia final.

See you at the Euros, France.

It was okay. The first half was pretty boring, but England put in more effort in the second, which improved things. Still, they were no match for Belgium. Hazard tore through the English defense like it was nothing.

If only we hadn't won our first game against England ...
Still: best ever result for Belgium. Great team, great coach. They all made us proud.

Pretty enjoyable World Cup, all in all.

Indeed.

Looking forward to the final. I'm really curious to see how Croatia will fare against France's defense.

Hopefully Mbappé will refrain from time-wasting and Neymarian theatrics.

Allez les Bleus!
Go Croatia!

Well done, Croatia! A well-deserved victory.

Belgium vs England for third place. Might be interesting. Now the Cup is no longer an option, I'm hoping for balls out footie. If either team parks the bus, they ought to be flogged.

If France wins the Cup, I'll consider that definitive proof there is no God.

Well done France.

Oi! Watch it!

Dammit, dammit, dammit. This was our one chance. I'm proud of our lads, but it hurts a little nonetheless.

Bit of a sterile game, IMHO. More like chess than footie. Not as exciting as I hoped.

I shall never drink French wine again. Never. Jamais!

Yeah. I'm hoping for a Belgium vs Croatia final. That'd be nice.

France will be a tougher opponent than Brazil, me thinks. They won't be taking any chances. Shame Meunier is out. We could've used him.

I've been enjoying watching Fellaini. He's an agent of chaos, and he knows it.

Oh man, this game was everything I hoped for.

I ran away from the telly a few times, cuz I just couldn't take the excitement.

So France - Belgique!

Oui! Allez la Belqique!

If we win, we'll be vacationing in Aix this year and walk around like we own the place.

I am really looking forward to France-Belgium. Should be good.

Well done Belgium

Now, while our team is talented, I think we owe coach Martinez a debt of gratitude. He's made solid choices so far.

It was nice to see that our defense held up.
