It doesn't get more simple than this. In preparation for Valentine's Day, I thought I'd share this quick and easy technique in Blender. The result is a stylized heart with a Mobius-like twist. Since the result is actually a watertight solid shape, this could be exported for 3d printing or used in any number of design projects. If you want to try a 3d print, just keep in mind the scale and thickness values of the object. I haven't illustrated that here, but many of my other videos go into detail about how to set up a scene for modeling to scale for 3d printing. Since the base of this shape is extremely low poly, it can be used in mograph or animation very easily. In fact, the turntable animation example at the beginning was rendered with Eevee in about 2 minutes.
Second installment to the Alien Botany series. I know it's been a while, but I started playing around with Geometry Nodes in Blender 3.0 and wanted to make something that used them. I'm only a novice when it comes to Geometry Nodes, so it was just a matter of taking advantage of the instancing features and also some of the cool effects that can be created using them. Some of this stuff can be done with basic particles too, but I found that the nodes offer a lot more control for certain things, and thus they were used for this animation.

Hi, everyone. Been a long time since I last posted anything here. Hopefully, I'll be around more often now. I hope everyone is doing well. Happy New Year to you all, and may this year be met with health and success for us all. I'd like to share my latest video on Youtube. Again, it has been quite a while since I posted a "tutorial" video. This one isn't quite a tutorial as much as it is a walkthrough of a modeling process. It's done in Blender 3.0, and I have Screencast Keys enabled. You can see the mouse buttons and the keystrokes in the lower right hand side of the viewport. Thank you for watching and stay tuned for more content in this new year.

Modeled, animated, and rendered with Blender 2.83.6 Eevee. I rendered it using RTX 2070 gpu at 2k resolution, 60FPS. Each frame took around 10 seconds, which was quite fast considering the high quality. Volumetric lights, soft shadows, PBR textures, and Glare node in the compositor were all in use here.
