A long time ago (well… 2015), I modeled this scene from a galaxy far, far away. Happy Star Wars Day – May the 4th be with you! #MayThe4thBeWithYou #CGI #3DArt #FanArt

After finding Zbrush for iPad underwhelming, I'm diving into Nomad Sculpt. Any fellow Zbrush veterans have tips for transitioning? Particularly interested in workflow differences and hidden features. #3DSculpting #NomadSculpt #DigitalArt

Liquigen actually outputs an animated mesh in Alembic format. The main reason it looks like a spray is actually the motion blur coming from the rendering, so not easy to use same technique for a game.

Turns out Civ VII isn't all that great, what a shame. Guess I will wait a few years and try again, so I can get back to making 3D. #CivilizationVII #Civ7 #Gaming #JustOneMoreTurn #Steam #Strategy4X

After years of waiting, and playing Civ VI, Civilization VII drops today on Steam for pre-order players! My 3D projects might have to wait – you know how it goes... "just one more turn" 😅

Firefighters-FDNY, Tom Isaksen Spent the last year of my spare time creating this piece, drawing from my own experiences as a firefighter. There's a unique energy in those critical moments - the weight of the gear, the heat, the focus. Wanted to honor the daily courage of FDNY and firefighters everywhere through this work. The project started in 3ds Max/Maya with V-Ray, but I moved everything to Blender/Cycles for the final presentation. It's been a journey, but I'm confident my next personal project will also be in Blender.

🚒Personal 3Dart inspired by my firefighting days. Finished and posted on Artstation. A tribute to @FDNY and firefighters worldwide. Started in 3ds Max/maya, before I decided to switch to Blender. www.artstation.com/artwork/zxKZ2Z #3DArt #Firefighters #Blender #FDNY #FirstResponders #3dart

Fire and water simulation, burning tires on muddy ground

Setting up VDB fire and alembic water simulation in Blender for my personal 3D project. Motion blur gets a bit glitch but otherwise happy with the progress.

Getting to grips with Blender hair, recreating the brows, lashes, peach fuzz etc. from my Fire Fighter project, previously done with xgen. I don't feel in complete control yet.

Testing out the Geometry node in Blender to make reflective strips, wonder if there are other methods out there to get more physically correct results?

Still having fun with Blender, getting into the shading side of things on my fire fighter project. Blender seems to have trouble reloading textures when rendering on the GPU tho.

My first step in learning Blender is to finish the firefighter project I started last year in 3ds Max/Maya. So far I'm having a lot of fun and particularly enjoy the very fast GPU rendering directly in the viewport.

After years of watching my wallet cry from software subscriptions, I'm finally going full Blender for my personal 3D art!

Hi, I'm Tom, Character artist with 25+ years of industry experience, worked on Hitman, Ghost Recon and other AAA games. 3D is my job and my hobby and will probably mostly write about that.
