I have a list of things that I want-to-have, and on that list is this "mouse". It's not a regular mouse, but a 3dconnexion SpaceMouse. It's actually a mouse that works alongside a default mouse and partly replaces the keyboard when you're working in 3D apps like Blender. You use it with your left hand, in case you are right-handed like me. They're a bit expensive, but at the same time they're not. When you compare it with the price of a regular mouse, you will consider it expensive, but when looking at it objectively it's not expensive at all for what you're getting. I've seen regular mice in the same price range that don't add any new functionality to a 5 euro mice. Except for some extra buttons, perhaps. Several models have been produced by 3dconnexion that vary from 100 to 400 euro. Have a look yourself at the available models and their prices on the product page. I haven't yet decided if I want the SpaceMouse Compact or the SpaceMouse Pro. I still need to investigate that and see what other people have to say about the different models.
I feel like I've discovered a holy grail of some sorts. My computer is not a very recent one. It's a Core i7, but from an early generation, and it has 32 gigs of RAM. And most importantly for rendering, it has an Nvidia Titan X graphics card. This card is a couple of years […]
I finally finished a new render for the Birkenhof animation. It took about three nights of rendering. All the edited and newly added content to the scene, like the plants for example, are shown in this new render, so in my opinion it looks at lot better as the previous animation. In case you've already […]
Similar to what I did for the previous post on the bunker in Valkenswaard, I'm writing another article where I will tell you about the history behind a building that I built in 3D as a replica. In this post it's regarding the Venbergse Molen. Molen translates to mill. Have a look at this page […]
I wrote this post in relation to a portfolio item that I recently posted, to talk a bit about the history of the building that I've built in 3D. Make sure to have a look at the Birkenhof portfolio page when you're done here. There's also a gallery at the bottom of this page. I […]
