The last time I made a video about Sweden, it was fall 2017. Can't believe we're 6 years past 2017. The time gap was not intentional. I just got caught up with other things. But I finally got one done. . Taylor Swift singing about Sweden (Mirrorball): I made this in Blender 3D. I tried… Continue reading A new video about Sweden
I think this is one of my favorite scenes I've ever made in Blender: Those are the angel chimes completed, and I have them spinning; and as they spin, they shoot sparkly hearts out the mouths of the trumpets of the angels!
I love angel chimes. They are so gorgeous. I have one at home, it has 3 trumpeting angels and a star on the top. So, I've been creating a 3D version in Blender. 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

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
I finished a new animated Twitter thread for work. This one is on planet collisions. Woah! You can see it here. It's nine tweets in all. I wrote about getting feedback on my animated Twitter threads earlier. I was sad because I was told about how bad and unpolished my work was. Well, after all… Continue reading Scicomm made polished, part 3
When I make animations with kids, part of the point is that other kids will want to watch the stories and learn something about the environment and about science on the way. Well, after I had finished "When Anders, Dilsa, and Reza were mean: a bird story" with the kids at a local summer camp,… Continue reading Honest feedback from kids
I am making this list based on certain online sleuthings I made a few months ago. There was an art competition announced ... and it was an art competition that specifically had to do with satellites and climate change. Those were two topics heavily featured in my PhD dissertation, so I thought, why not enter?… Continue reading The best science artists (according to the European Space Agency)
I've had a song from the 1989 Eurovision stuck in my head. As I was editing/fixing/polishing/rendering the animations for McAllister Elementary, I listened to it on repeat, as I do, making handy use of the YouTube refresh button. It was still on my computer when I dashed to McAllister the very day before our viewing… Continue reading Animations with kids and old Eurovision songs
