I recently launched my latest site, Reynolds and Co Bookkeeping. I’ve done a few websites in the past few years but this is significant in that it’s the first site I’ve done in a while where I wasn’t the subcontractor. It’s also significant because I didn’t design a good bit of the… [CONTINUE]
I recently left my company of seven years and started a job at a start-up in downtown Portland. I love it so far. It’s been a challenging transition (because baby) but also pretty rewarding. One of the sweet perks of this new position is that we are very much an Apple-centric work environment. My new… [CONTINUE]
I decided to do a trombone rendering. This is one of the instruments that I played in high school. I was primarily a baritone horn player but I was told that if I wanted to be a more well-rounded musician and one who maybe got occasional work, I should learn to play the trombone. Outside of Gustav… [CONTINUE]
If you’re just now joining us, this above is what my website used to look like. It got me an A for my final individual project and did what it was supposed to, but now it’s time for some new sexiness. And now, it’s time to be mindless for a few more days until I… [CONTINUE]
Because exactly no single human being has asked, I have provided my setup I use to develop my sites. This is just my hardware for web development I do in my consultant work. These are not any endorsement of any products, services, pieces of software, etc. It’s just what I use and I think it’s… [CONTINUE]
I decided to create a Blender 3D still life scene but couldn’t decide what to do. This is the end result. My wife and I didn’t get a wedding cake. We didn’t do the funky chicken, there was no bouquet tossing. There was a bouquet, an absurdly beautiful one designed and generously gifted by my wife’s cousin… [CONTINUE]
Here’s a little example of architecture in Blender 3D based on a place I visited. In November of 2010, my girlfriend of 11 months and I went to Mexico on vacation. In San Miguel de Allende, after tearing up a rotisserie chicken with our bare hands and eating it with tomatillo salsa and a stack of… [CONTINUE]
Here is an example of branding with Blender 3D for a fictional paint company in Portland called Alberta Hues. I am much better at designing cans of paint than I am coming up for names of paint as you can see. These were designed in Blender 3D using a technique that I’ve been using… [CONTINUE]
Check out my Blender 3D trumpet, broheim. I made this using a source image from Google in the background as a guide. It was actually quite easy to do. I did most of the tubing by extruding a circle continuously and then occasionally bending it with the Spin tool. I used subsurf modifiers to… [CONTINUE]
