My friend Shamus is publishing a new book… I may have gotten carried away:

Working on a 3D printable mushroom. Initial results look promising!

On the first image, if you really want to create something dazzling with bright colors, it would really help to make use of the new filmic transform to eliminate the burnout and the blinding colors that result.

Is that in 2.8? I’m still working in 2.79b for stability reasons.

I’ve been meaning to make a procedurally generated library for a while. This book is all hand-made, but should be pretty easy to codify, whenever I get around to it.

Was just playing around, and my daughters started giving me advice. Cute bunny sky island.

Playing around with net positive diffuse shaders. Is there an easier way to do this?

Started fancying up a logo, and ended up with so many greebles!

The glass pots were very fun to make. So pretty!

Very nice blends

Thanks!
Was working on a spiral staircase. SpiralStair.blend (78.2 KB) Got this far and ran out of constraints.

Got inspired by Gris again. Concentric.blend (101.5 KB)

Yes, you can set your diffuse colour to R x 8,G x 8,B x 8.

Also - really liking the sparkleyness of your renders and overall cool experimental style. . Very nice. And I found the text at the end of your book vid very funny.

By the way… there’s another artists out there with your name… unless you’re the same person that is… https://cabaret.co.uk/artists/paul-spooner/ … and I’m a fan.

Thanks very much!
Sadly (or perhaps fortunately, since it means twice the content for you) no. We are different people. I’m this Paul Spooner:

Been thinking about candlesticks, so I whipped this up.
Background and floor made with the “Extra Objects > Wall Factory” add-on.

Sometimes, you just gotta play with masonry. Started with the “Extra Objects > Wall Factory” add-on, but significantly altered.
