Recent peek at Storm of War: Battle of Britain

IL-2 Sturmovik and its follow-on sims were some of my favorite air combat sims of all time. Developer 1C has been working on a next-gen sim based upon the Battle of Britain, called Storm of War. It looks *amazing*.

Blender smoke test compilation

I've compiled a number of my Blender smoke tests from the week spent learning it. Learning how to use an emission texture to make the hot parts of the flame glow brightly was a big breakthrough, and I thank all the helpful tutorial makers who showed the way.

Another Mandelbulb flythrough

These things never fail to astonish me. Best watched in HD!

Perhaps if you ask nicely I could be persuaded to make a tutorial.

Mandelbox Trip

Check out this awesome journey through a Mandelbox. Best viewed in high def!

I recommend watching that video, muted, while Eric Whitacre's "Lux Aurumque" plays. It has just the right note of splendor and awe.
