I tried the blender fluid simulation. I made some paint flow on a cage.
This is the cage I made using the wire frame modifier.
It turned out very easy to set up and undestrand the settings. I have another idea using the fluid simulation but it’s a bit longer to do and it’s not done yet.
I found this csv file about top songs that had a lot of interesting parameters. I used it to make this visualisation in p5.js
Each circle represents a song, the size depends on the popularity on spotify. The black ones are explicit and the white ones are not.
Here’s the code :
I took this picture of my friend while she was focused on her camera. I love the atmosphere this picture has and I decided to buid an environnement for that.
I added a sphere and some particles that I shaped into shperes and rounded stars.
I made some glowy materials and used a sunset HDRI to have a soft warm lighting.
I also edited the picture to change the color of the wine bottles, ennhance the colors and add a bit of grain.
The perfect balance between reality and digitally made environments is beautiful and fascinating because it does not just make us feel like it could be real, but we also want it to be real.
In Frederik Heyman’s work, nature, technology and 3D scans of people blend to create an altered reality. Humans are obviously fascinated by robots and the future in general and I think it could be why those composition look so satisfying. Digital art help us imagine and reach this reality that we like but is not here yet.
I think it is a very interesting way of using art because it is a way to escape from the reality we are in but it also shows how ambitious we are.
I wanted to try doing something realistic in Blender and I thought about those houses took over by sand in Namibia.
Those were my inspirations :
I started by modeling a wing using vertices then I used the skin modifier to make it look like a tube and I made a metallic material with warm colors.
I mirrored the wing and Animated it. Then added a picture of my friend in front of it. The picture didn’t appear on the render but it helped me to find the right camera angle.
Then I put everything together using a video editing software.
This is a quick animation I made to get more comfortable with blender and using it for animation.
After watching the Blender tutorials I had this idea. I didn’t model the fish because I wanted to focus on the animation and shading. I like how it turned out and I was very fun to do.

Process :
* I used the displace modifier with a cloud texture for the swimming motion
* Then I did the shading, you can find the nodes composition here
* And I set the camera so that it is tracking one fish
