I had the pleasure of providing technical review for a Blender 3d book by Abdelilah Hamdani. Just got my printed copy from Packt Publishing. Feeling proud 💪

Hello fellow earthlings (and, potentially, others)!

I'm James Maynard, and this is my #introduction - #introductions?

I publish The Cosmic Companion, creating #funvideos and #3DEnvironments - Tearing down barriers to great #scienceeducation.

Each episode features a friendly original #interview w/ an amazing #scientist, #author, or #developer.

Also love #science, the #desert, and #astrophotography w/ remote scopes.

Living in #Tucson, #Arizona, w/ my wonderful wife, Nicole, and Max the cat.

Don't want to spam or advertise too much but I'm really proud to be part of the team behind this new 3d plant asset pack by #Graswald (I assembled and tweaked some of the models alongside with some great 3d artist colleagues) If you're into #3dEnvironments,#ArchViz or something similar I can say these are some real high quality realistic assets. Definitely a better way of spending 8$ than a blue tick on birdapp (there are free assets to check out too so give it a try):

Thousands of photoreal 3D assets to breathe life into the virtual worlds you build.
