Continuing with my 3D model of the Dark Acolyte, tonight I’ve been human head modelling in Blender.
Human Head Modelling In Blender
New Section Added: Artloaded
OK, I made up the word “artloader” and now I’ve come up with a definition:
artloader [ahrt-loh-der] noun Someone who loads art into stuff.

Just Posted A Blender Light Emitting Texture Tutorial
I have documented my process for applying a light emitting texture to an object in Blender.

Adding Tarnish with Blender Vertex Painting
Some of my mates suggested I tarnish my logo a little since that would be more steampunky so I wondered about using Vertex Painting in Blender.
This Blender Manual page on Vertex Painting gave me a good overview but I also found out that for vertex painting to be most effective, I had to have a lot of vertices.
It was no good having a really simple mesh like the one I started out with so I had to subdivide my mesh a fair bit.
Vertex Painting is awesome though! It allows you to paint directly onto your 3D mesh – a very natural way to add colour to your 3D models.
Now my logo has a nice bit of tarnishing:
Steampunk Bronze Logo
OK so here’s the artloader.net logo.
I’m gonna leave it at this because I’m in danger of spending a silly amount of time messing about with the settings in Blender.
Below is the clockwork bump map image I made for this in Gimp:
And here are the bronze material settings in Blender:
Logo Design V2
Here’s my 2nd logo design.
I’m trying for a steampunk feel by going for a brass-like colour with clock-work type cog wheels.
The 3D model was done in Blender and the cog wheel design was done in Gimp.
Making A Cog Wheel In Gimp
I needed a cog wheel image to apply as a bump map to my logo design so I had a little tinker in Gimp.
Here’s my process for making a cog wheel in Gimp.
