Bitcoin Logo .... a hologram made with Blender

[pooya87]

I've been learning 3D modeling and animation using this awesome open source tool called Blender. Of course being a Bitcoiner means I have to dedicate one of my early projects to Bitcoin.
So here is a hologram of the Bitcoin Logo.

Nice merit farming tactics you have! 😉
How long did it take to make this?

[riantolie]

Nice job, especially for the beginner!
Now make an NFT from it, that would be hilarious.

[DirtyKeyboard]

Very cool!  If I had to criticize anything it would be the dings are a bit loud imo.

Nice merit farming tactics you have! 😉

Yeah, I needed to rank up to supernoob

How long did it take to make this?

I'm still a beginner so about 3 afternoons of modeling, most of it spent on messing around with settings trying to get this setup to work with complex models with many parts and failing.
And 2 hours of rendering 420 frames (7 sec, 60 fps).

[Orpichukwu]

Indeed, you are still practicing, and with a lot of time on it, you will be able to create more reality art with it. Blender is among the greatest graphics tools.

If it was for an account like mine, this could have been plus-able and agreeable by many, as they might be convinced I am looking for means to earn merit, but for the OP with such merit, what else does he/she need to farm merit for?

[Churchillvv]

Nice work!
But the first circle that introduced  the bitcoin logo need a remesh or node is not too sharp to look real.

Once again nice work fam
I'm still learning too

I have tried Blender and I am telling you that you that it is already one hell of a project there, I have used it and I do not have the patience to do the sculpting and shaping of the 3D models and at that time I do not have a really good computer so that added to my frustration since Blender needs a lot of computer space to be able to run smoothly. It is difficult to believe that you are a beginner to Blender so if you really are a beginner, I hope you take that as a compliment.

The projected ray looks stronger than the projected image

Okay animation is harder than I thought
Would reduce my criticism on poor looking animation .
Kudos!!! On your work
I barely know more than the primary colors
So always judge my arts based on aesthetics
Really biased towards the color blue.

visualizing TX/data on Bitcoin block

That would be better to look at than plain old texts
Especially with an Avatar attached.

I have no idea what Ding's are
Searched online, but saw some stuff about Chinese.

The logo is fine and am ok with seing this from your crafty skills to make your own bitcoin designed logo, just like play, it could turn to be an amazing NFT others can see after and make demands for, I've been seeing many bitcoin logo designs in the past but this one looks more of being captured with an ideal capture in its design.

[pooya87]

do you have specific goal by learning Blender (for example, visualizing TX/data on Bitcoin block)?

Yes but my goals are not Bitcoin related. I plan on making animations and hopefully some day visual effects.
Usually whenever I learn these new skills I apply them to things that I'm passionate about, so it is possible I'd make more Bitcoin related stuff in the future.

If you use VPN or Tor, you might get warning about exceeding transfer quota which force you to wait or upgrade to paid account. In future, you might want to use different platform to share your video.

Any suggestions?

I don't think that you are a beginner to Blender so if you really are a beginner, I hope you take that as a compliment.

Thanks. Of course Youtube helps a lot to be a beginner but not look it

Really biased towards the color blue.

Blue works so much better for holograms (and is more futuristic!) but Bitcoin logos are generally orange so I went with that...

I believe he is talking about the sound effects I used. It's about a decibel loud.

[aylabadia05]

Great job and results. I will try to learn to make it. Who knows, I might be able to share the results on other platforms.
The video is too short. I thought the video showed how to do it, but it turns out it only shows the results.
By the way, good job pooya87.

[Bureau]

The 7 second animation looks great. I have a question for you  though, is it possible to convert that animation to a gif? If that is possible then you can submit it on platforms like GIPHY for others to use. I really liked it and that is why I am suggesting this idea to you. Most chat messengers use it for gif images, others would be able to use your creation.

Blender is an amazing open-source tool, it's very fun experience to build an interior design in Blender.

If you use VPN or Tor, you might get warning about exceeding transfer quota which force you to wait or upgrade to paid account. In future, you might want to use different platform to share your video.

I bet, he uses Tor or at least paid VPN. I didn't have any problem though. By the way, that's only 1.3 MB, I have no idea how can someone exceed transfer quota.

I have no specific suggestion since most platform which let you upload and share video or GIF doesn't block Tor or VPN.

With Tor or some VPN, the IP address is shared where someone else might used all free transfer quota for that IP address. I had to switch Tor relay few times before i can watch the video.

Nice work, as I scroll up and down I am amazed because the image looks moving as well and increasing a bit of its width.
Also, thanks for introducing that software. Looks like it's an interesting one to learn with these images and 3d modelling. I know that the mega link you provided is safe but I have no idea why it feels like that I'm scared of clicking it probably because I was stupid before when many files I've clicked before contained something.

[Samlucky O]

Wow it's looks so incredible. You must be a genius, this looks pretty much like allien technology in the Hollywood lolz . You really did a nice job. Effort like this needs to be appreciated because it requires time, effort, dedication, sleepless nights and resilience to achieve it.

To others you seams to be learning and needs inprovement, but to me who is a novice I see it as an excellent job though.

[ThemePen]

Nice merit farming tactics you have! 😉

I don't think so the purpose was merit farming. If he has that tactics so he should post it in WO.

By the way this is looking nice I hope this is the first try and the good thing is that when you started making this you just thought you should make Bitcoin logo first. And if I were you, I would do the same.

That looks like something to be made with Photoshop. In any case with my newbish skills I can only throw something like the following together



Here is tiny video rendered (75 frames, 25 fps):
https://mega.nz/file/579jRC5A#zPyW8pQpxu9LnbuKUmAz4WQ1xN9OwUz1tQ10GCO4b-g
I made it with a lot of "fakery", fake moon, fake stars and fake light beam.
The funniest thing is that I have no idea why the world light flickers when I move the clouds; so I added a thunder sound to match the "bug" and look like it is intentional

Hopefully I get better at it with time...

I think the forum still serves as an incentive to do things related to bitcoin. We  can share our  bitcoin related projects here, and people, most of the time, give us great encouragement.

Maybe in the future you can even use those visual effects in bitcoin related services.

Keep up the good work. It is always amazing to learn new techniques.

You are doing very good, I am impressed with your video!
