When the Sun becomes a red giant in about 6 billion years, it could bring new life to the Solar System. Here, the Sun is seen from Europa, moon of Jupiter. Europa's ices are melting. Exotic creatures may swim in this new ocean. #3danimation made in #blender3d

I had great fun with this #b3d #3danimationnsfw of alien plants, giant fungi and flying creatures on a hospitable, foreign world. Back in the 90s, I did a painting (yes, actual gouache paint!) featuring these odd structures. It was so cool to revisit them now and recreate them

Happy Monday! This graphic maps the known stars / brown dwarfs within 20 light-years of the Sun. The Earth's equatorial plane is the horizontal plane, and the blue shells mark five light-years. There are certainly more brown dwarfs than shown but they have not yet been found.

Since Pluto was discovered it has not yet completed a full orbit of the Sun. We'll have to wait until 2177 for that.

Here's a #3Danimation of a flight over #Pluto , with Charon and the Sun in the sky. So often I hear the remark that, from Pluto, the Sun would be just a bright star. It would actually still be hundreds of times brighter than our full Moon @AlanStern @NewHorizons2015

Want to ruin your firm's reputation in one fell swoop? It's easy - just use some shitty AI 'art' for your project instead paying a professional. Take a look at this. At first glance it looks ok, right? Then you notice that the Moon is in the sky. I repeat: this is supposed to

Thanks for your comments on this so far. I've added bridges, cycles lanes, a playground, tennis courts, agriculture, greenhouses and other bits. I've moves the trams to the sides on elevated tracks. Still lots more to do.

Still a WIP, here's how my Stanford Torus is developing so far. It needs obvious things like people, but what else do you all think I could add to the scene? The camera is not animated yet.

This took about 3 months to build in #Blender3d on Linux Mint. I used pre-made assets for some of the buildings and aircraft. The rest is mine. Render time on an RTX 3080Ti and a 3090 was about 4 days for 1638 frames.
