Description
Been trying to develop some interesting materials and post-processing effects using simple geometry as a basis. Except for the primitives shown in the upper left, everything else is procedural—i.e., the effects are generated automatically; there's no textures or manual labour involved (beyond me creating the setup to begin with!) Everything is done in Blender using material & render nodes. And I used the internal renderer. ETA: here's a short animation showing how the materials look when you change your point of view.

I'll be sharing some more BGs soon, so stay-tuned for that. I do streams of myself working on BGs now and then on Twitch: www.twitch.tv/jakebowkett I usually announce on Twitter when I'm gonna start streaming, but if you can't watch live or have a crap connection I also upload recordings to a playlist on YouTube: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=…

Lastly, I've been working on my new website: www.jakebowkett.com/ I'm doing a total re-write of the code atm because it got a little messy... but as you can see from the links (which now actually work!) there'll a gallery and a blog, among other things. So that's cool.

Oh, and lastly (for real this time) I wrote a program that suggests a random game from your Steam library to play. You can also set it to filter out games you've played for more than X hours (it accepts fractional values like 0.5). It only runs on the command line atm and requires Python 3, but I'm gonna see if I can make a web page that does the same thing so that anyone can use it. Anyway, here's the current code for it if you want to try it out or just have a look: pastebin.com/4zx5SYiN
