I've been playing around with what I can achieve with #Blender. I'm truly amazed at what my 10yo laptop can handle.
This is made from a ready-made assets, including the mother and child, the grass, and the textures. The landscapes, and trees I made myself. I think the trees still need work, but it's a better start than I hoped.
Of course, this image is still a work-in-progress.
I've been playing around with this during my free time. Getting the lighting right has proven quite a challenge. Those that follow me on Mastodon might know I made an earlier version with just the blood moon. For this, I almost completely remade it. The only thing I kept was the moon. I even used a higher resolution star map.
It looks much better against a darker background. Lighter backgrounds drown out the stars, ripples in the ocean, and even the iceberg.
Happy New Year to everyone. May the year of the snake bring you good fortune and merriment.

...and I see something golden on the nature strip between the highway, on the left, and the mass of construction, on the right. As I near it, I realise that it's a statue of a golden Buddha. My question is why? Does it have something to do with the lunar new year? Or has there been a traffic incident and someone is paying their respects?
Curious
