  1. Art Advent 10: Baubles

    I put a lot of work into the shaders for this one, and I'm pretty proud of them. The glitter shader uses the voronoi color output, projects it onto the normal, and perturbs the normal by that amount in an adjustable way. That took a bit of work, because I initially tried to output an RGB normal map and feed it into a Normal Map node, but I kept having artifacts on UV seams. Skipping UV and tangent space entirely bypassed that.

    The bulby node tree (I think of it as a pumpkin) is done in UV space via two sine calculations, one offset from the other by half a period, and taking the max of it. It's a neat effect, and I've enabled a "Y Influence" input for twisting it along the V coordinate and a "Band Number" output to allow alternating colors and other effects. Getting the band number playing nicely with the Y influence took a bit of trial and error, but it's turned out well, I think.

  2. The paintings of this #baroque #cupola in #Rome pass over the frieze in an attempt to achieve more realism, as if the figures where really on a different plane compared to the building surfaces. #church #architecture #ornaments.

  3. Ambivalent about whether to buy the 2025 White House Christmas from the WH Historical Association, but it is private and non-profit organization, and was formed by Jacqueline Kennedy.I feel it isn't politicized (or at least it hasn't been pressured yet). This year it's the plates for used for state dinners commemorating 150 years of those, and it seems topical since someone is illegally building a new ballroom to ostensibly and ostentatiously hold grift sessions state dinners for up to 999 people.

  4. A view of the magnificent #cupola in the #Baroque church of Saint Ivo alla Sapienza, #Rome. Architect Francesco #Borromini based the design on simple geometric shapes yet achieved surfaces that seem to flow through the space with remarkable dynamism. #architecture #ornaments

  5. Someone is sitting at his desk, visible through a window in #Rome, performing a humble activity within a glorious frame. #ornaments #WindowFriday #FensterFreitag #facade #stucco
