I am in the midst of making a series of animations set to songs, here, and midway, I figured out something important. The song has a lyric about reading a book, so I made an animated book, with things coming out of the book. When the second page starts turning, the sparkly heart that came… Continue reading Storytelling tip: matching animations to lyrics
This is my first animation about Sweden in three years, almost. There's a few more I want to do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFZ75CWvEss&pp=0gcJCa4KAYcqIYzv
I made a couple of videos with snow in Blender (in this one below, the snow starts about 10 seconds in): https://www.youtube.com/shorts/5hsBUlBYBv8 To make the snow, I am using the particle systems in Blender to release the snow.

I'm using the clearest angel-chime photo I could find online to help get it all right. I can't wait to finish it,… Continue reading Angel chimes in Blender3D
I was on a long train ride recently, and I traced out this trumpeting angel in Blender: Trumpeting angel in Blender I love these angels! I recently found out you can see statues of some of them in Philadelphia, along the Schuylkill River. If you are in the area, I would definitely go check them… Continue reading Trumpeting angels in Blender
I'm learning how to make a firework in Blender: Firework in Blender Isn't it beautiful? I used this Blender firework tutorial. I've learned how to make other sparkly stuff the last while: A comet, or a shower of gold Glowing particles A ball of glitter
A protoplanetary disk is, in my opinion, a stupid word that means something very sweet ... it just means a solar system in its infancy, when it's still a baby, still developing. But instead of just calling it a "baby solar system" or, to be more regal, an "infant solar system", they had to christen… Continue reading My protoplanetary disk in Blender3D
