Personal exercise - materials and room

I was experimenting with procedural material for floor planks and in result made whole room as I had a chesterfield coach from previous practice, so most of room was almost done. Some fabric, plant, curtains and voilà!

WCC BMX track design stage for C&K Contractors

Finally, revealing work for Clark & Kent Contractors on design assisting, modelling and rendering close to realistic looking images of World Cycling Centre (Mondial du Cyclisme (CMC)) BMX track.

Input data were drawings of starting ramps, site for track and sketch made by Clark & Kent Bridgett with dimensions and combinations of obstacles. My task was also to distribute track layout so that is spread as possible but follow rules in terms of overall length of course. Also I wanted to make turns open as possible to preserve speed. I must say that it was great pleasure to not only work on highly recognizable project, but also sometimes to deal with some issues to solve. Glad that mostly track was built as it looks on images, although there were some ideas implemented after design was made. Result of project seen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JqkwTtthKw

Casual staircase

This was entry to a Blenderguru.com Photorealism competition. Gained some new experience in lighting, materials, volumetrics, etc.

Won in a little competition

"Blender Latvia" facebook group organized a contest "Cube". I've decided to combine participation with experiments on new techniques. This was my entry - Luminous and smoky liquid in a container made of glass.

This was 1st competition of the group and only 3 works were submitted. Jury from 3 visual artists decided that my work is best. I was surprised and happy! :) 

Learning, learning, learning - Towel! Towel? - Yes!

To refresh knowledge and check what's new in freshest build of Blender 3D, I made towel inspired from Blender Guru tutorial. I added a steam with smoke shaders, played with bronze material and dirt mapping and procedural wood texture simulation for plank. What do You think?

Cumbernauld, Scotland, UK

New, high standard track will be built in Scotland with two starting hills - 5 and 3m, and with pro section on second straight.

Waterpump

Also new stuff learning project. Hard surface modeling, operation with mesh, material setup, texturing material layer masks, compositor.

Yes. Only masking is painted. Everything else in pump material is procedural, without external textures.

Hope You like the result!
