Nixie Tube Project: Composition.

Nixie Tube is looking more detailed.  After further improvements and detailing, I will do a turntable animation.  All modeling and rendering was done using Blender 2.69.

Nixie Tube Project....Retro Tech.

A work in progress:  I modeled and rendered this Nixie Tube in Blender 2.69.  Eventually, I will model a series of them and include animation.
Added glossy texture to honeycomb anode, changed some light settings along with glare and blur compositing nodes ( 2-9-2014 ).



The Nixie tube was introduced in 1955 by the Burroughs Corporation and found multiple uses in the electronics industry.  The Soviet Union copied the idea and continued to use the Nixie in their military equipment into the 1980's.  Today, Russia has a surplus of these neon gas tubes, which are available for purchase, generally by hobbyists and retro-tech geeks.

Ricetta per Panzerotti Pugliesi.


It's a snowy night in the northern Italian city of Udine, a perfect time for one family to make and enjoy Panzerottis.  The wife cooks, the husband takes the video and the bambina wants to know when it's time to chow down.  A thoroughly charming cooking video.

Graphic design

All modeled and rendered in Blender 2.66

The chess pieces were modeled using splines, object modifiers and textures in the latest version of Blender.  Once a complete set is designed, it's off to the 3D print shop for the prototypes, from which rubber molds will be made for cold cast, polyresin chess sets.  After a few tweaks, I'll be sending this picture to my online store.  For links to my stores, visit my Youtube page: http://www.youtube.com/user/iuliusCamillus

Starry Night.

City generated in Blender 2.63 using particle physics and textured building models.    This could use some street lighting but Blender was behaving rather badly....I'm working on it.  I think the illuminated Geisha billboard adds something to break up the monotony though.  (Click to enlarge)

Sci-Fi Poster Project - A Slight Detour.


This poster depicts a scene from the cyber-punk, sci-fi novel, "Accelerando", by Charles Stross.   Amber Macx and her crew upload to the Field Circus - a craft the size of a coke can, made of Computronium - and venture two light years to the brown dwarf star Hyundai +4904/-56 where they encounter the Wunch.  I can't righlty call this poster "Minimalist".  A friend has described my work as Art Deco and I must agree with her assessment.  I love Art Deco!

Minimalist Design Posters...continued.


Minimalist poster inspired by Peter F. Hamilton's Commonwealth Saga"Pandora's Star" and "Judas Unchained."   Here I am depicting the Compressed Space Transport (CST) technology - invented by tech entrepreneurs, Nigel Sheldon and Ozzie Isaacs - used for traveling throughout the 400 planet Intersolar Commonwealth.  Specific design elements inspired by A.M. Cassandre's famous Nord Express poster of 1927.
