"Women’s high-heel shoes (Jimmy Choo Romy 85 pumps)"

Made in Blender for a future project. I’m fascinated by the structural design of shoes, and the incredibly tight tolerances that hold them together.
Eventually I want to model human figures in Blender, but I’m starting from small accessories...

“The Entertainer”

Shure 55 vintage microphone, created and rendered in Blender. Multiple Boolean operations and an unforgiving chrome surface made modelling an interesting challenge. The scene is lit with a single HDRI. Balancing highlights and shadows in low-light scenes can still be a struggle, pushing my post-processing and lighting skills to their limits.

"Cold Rolled"

The “heated metal” effect seen inside the brass necks of the ejected .50 BMG cartridges was an interesting one to explore. Tied to the particle age of each bullet, it fades as the spent cartridge falls. Eventually, I'll complete the full animation for this sequence; for now, I’m happy with the result.

"Roman dodecahedron, c 41 CE"

The purpose and function of these objects, unearthed across the expanse of the Roman Empire, remains unknown. They might have been used in games of chance, as a primitive theodolite, to hold candles, or even as a drawplate for knitting different fingers when making gloves.

An ongoing series recreating ancient objects in Blender. Despite rendering the floor texture at 4K, there was a small displacement pixelation issue on the tile edges, addressed by adjusting Blender's shadow terminator value.
