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?

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!

Experiment with techniques

Did some experiments with different techniques to both optimize and make result more realistic. I like the result!

Ancient loghouse

Learning new software for my future works I decided to make ancient log-house - dwelling of Semigalians(the tribe in the territory of modern Latvia) in 13th century. Shortly before that I found some related information about history and archaeological researches. And even had conversation with historian - expert of that period and culture. That is what I've got.

Most challenging part was straw roof. Then I experimented also with logs to make them believable as possible
