- [Pt. 5 – Back to the Drawing Board](https://tishll.com/pt-5-back-to-the-drawing-board/pt-5-back-to-the-drawing-board/) - What I did: So today I started the Udemy course I mentioned in my last post – what a huge let down! The course description had promised character creation and modelling, but it wasn't at all what it was billed to be. Instead, it largely used an extension in Blender to generate semi-realistic human models

- [Snowman](https://tishll.com/snowman/snowman/) - Date: 11.10.2025 Source: Udemy – Ultimate Blender 3D Geometry Nodes Time spent: 1 hour I purchased a Udemy Course – The Ultimate Blender 3D Geometry Nodes Course. It covers Blender basics (which I skipped past) before going over the basics of Geometry Nodes and Shader Nodes. There are 320 lectures in total which span nearly
- [Cityscape](https://tishll.com/cityscape/cityscape/) - Date: 12.10.2025 Source: Udemy – Ultimate Blender 3D Geometry Nodes Time spent: 0.5 hour Continuing the Udemy The Ultimate Blender 3D Geometry Nodes Course, I created this basic cityscape. This one was super simple to set up, and is fully adjustable. You can quickly and easily expand or contract the city to be a different
- [Particle Flow Logo](https://tishll.com/particle-flow-logo/particle-flow-logo/) - Date: 10.11.2025 Source: Partly Ducky 3D Time spent: 1.5 hours Taking inspiration from a Ducky 3D tutorial on YouTube, I used the particle flow idea to create the logo for one of my clients. It was pretty straightforward, although I did do it a couple of times. The first time of doing it, I imported
- [Shock the Monkey](https://tishll.com/shock-the-monkey/shock-the-monkey/) - Date: 22.11.2025 Source: CrossMind Studio Time spent: 1.5 hours I followed a tutorial on creating electric signal trails using the Shortest Path node in Blender. The effect creates glowing circuits resembling energy pulses flowing across surfaces – perfect for sci-fi visuals. I applied this to Suzanne (Blender's monkey mascot). The procedural setup creates random paths
- [Neon Nodes](https://tishll.com/neon-nodes/neon-nodes/) - Date: 26.11.2025 Source: Vector Recite Time spent: 0.5 hour I followed a very basic tutorial on procedural neon signs. The setup's fully procedural; the text is live, you can change typefaces, in fact you can adjust everything very easily. As the type changes, the supports that hold the letters move too. Geometry nodes (overall view
- [Bats About Nodes](https://tishll.com/bats-about-nodes/bats-about-nodes/) - Date: 04.12.2025 Source: Ryan King Art Time spent: 3 hours While this tutorial makes use of geometry nodes to animate bats, the same nodes could very easily be used to animate any flock of birds, and probably swarms of flying insects too. There are two options for the bats, 'Never Ending Bats' which loop constantly,
- [3D Drawing Tools](https://tishll.com/3d-drawing-tools/3d-drawing-tools/) - Date: 06.12.2025 Source: TomGrave3D Time spent: 0.5 hour This quick tutorial uses geometry nodes to create basic 3D drawing tools. Having watched the tutorial, I developed the tools a little by adding sliders in the Modifiers menu to make them easier to adjust. There are three tools, which I have called: Draw 3D Pipes Draw
- [Condensation Droplets](https://tishll.com/condensation-droplets/condensation-droplets/) - Date: 06.12.2025 Source: TomGrave3D Time spent: 1 hour This tutorial uses geometry nodes to create water droplets that could be used on loads of different objects, such as drinking glasses, bottles, cans, leaves and windows. I already had an orange that I had modelled for an earlier CA, so I've applied these nodes to that
- [A Stitch in Time](https://tishll.com/a-stitch-in-time/a-stitch-in-time/) - Date: 07.12.2025 Source: TomGrave3D Time spent: 2.5 hours This tutorial uses geometry nodes to create a tool that can be used to quickly draw a variety of embroidery stitches, using the ‘Draw’ tool in Blender’s Edit Mode, which allows you to draw freehand splines. The node setup can be adjusted to create different stitches; here

- [Pt. 8 – Still Modelling!](https://tishll.com/pt-8-still-modelling/pt-8-still-modelling/) - What I did: I tried living with the model, but I wasn’t happy with it. There was too much of a disconnect between the eyes and the rest of the head. A meeting with my tutor confirmed what I had been thinking. He also pointed out a couple of clothing edges that could be made
- [Pt. 7 – Modelling Complete (Almost!)](https://tishll.com/pt-7-modelling-complete-almost/pt-7-modelling-complete-almost/) - What I did: I've finished modelling my stylised John! Well, pretty much – there might be just a couple more tweaks needed, but the majority of the work is done. I've now gone through 50 out of the 83 lessons in the course, so I'm doing well. The demonstration model from the course is basic,
- [Pt. 6 – Making Progress](https://tishll.com/pt-6-making-progress/pt-6-making-progress/) - What I did: Carried on working through the Udemy course and I’m making good progress. I’ve completed 43 out of the 83 lectures, so I’m just over half way through. I’ve got my base character mostly modelled – John in his late-30s is taking shape. He’s not quite finished yet; I still need to create
- [Pt. 4 – Time to Refresh?](https://tishll.com/pt-4-time-to-refresh/pt-4-time-to-refresh/) - What I’m doing: I’ve decided to invest in a full character animation course before I dive into modelling. To be honest, I’m lacking a little confidence. My Blender knowledge has been pieced together from multiple tutors and random online tutorials, so I’m pretty sure I’ve picked up some bad habits along the way! I’ve never
- [Pt. 3 – Character Reference](https://tishll.com/pt-3-character-reference/pt-3-character-reference/) - What I did: Used AI to generate the style of character I want to model (as my drawing skills aren't great). I started off using Adobe Firefly, generating the same prompt until I felt I had a reasonable stylised likeness to my dad in his late 30's. Prompt: stylised 3d character of man wearing suit,
- [Pt. 1 – Starting the Character Ageing Project](https://tishll.com/wk-1-starting-the-character-ageing-project/wk-1-starting-the-character-ageing-project/) - What I did: Set up this research blog and defined my project goals for my Character Pipeline CA5 module as part of my MSc in Computer Animation. All going well, this will contribute to my final project next year. I'm creating a stylised character that ages from late 30s to 90 years old. The character
- [Pt. 2 – One size fits all, or does it?](https://tishll.com/one-size-fits-all-or-does-it/one-size-fits-all-or-does-it/) - What I did: Considered my options. For my main character, I need to show his age range from late-30's up until his 90's. I asked myself the question, is it better to model one character and use a switching system to show the character ageing, or to model multiple characters of different ages? With many

There would also be
- [JR Wadhams](https://tishll.com/portfolio-items/jr-wadhams/) - I did my first advertisement and exploded line drawings of classic Rover cars for Jonathan on a drawing board around 30 years ago - things were very different back then!

- [Mayfield Birds of Prey](https://tishll.com/portfolio-items/mayfield-birds-of-prey/) - I was initially approached to produce promotional flyers advertising the wide range of experiences available to visitors of this bird of prey centre in County Waterford.
