OpenFOAM Baby Steps - Chapter 3: Mesh Generation Part 1

Monday, 06 March 2023
Rick Palo
OpenFOAM

This section will deal with generating the mesh for a case.  I will initially create a crude wind tunnel model for 2-dimensional (2D) flow over a flat plate.  That is an instance where the geometry could be generated by hand.  I will use simple tools to automate that process and allow for increasingly more complex geometries.

Life On The Farm - Adding Animation

With the basic game dynamics working, I started to add animation to the assets.  Blender's glTF exporter makes exporting animations to webGL relatively simple, but there were still plenty of Opportunities For Learning (OFL) to occur.  :)

Life On The Farm - A Consistent Feel

Cover Image For Life On The Farm

One challenge with working on a project part-time is the variation in the look and feel of the models created.   I didn't have a good sense of whether I wanted the game to feel realistic or cartoony.  I didn't know if I wanted something that felt modern or pseudo-historical.  That generated a wide variation in the assets I created.  But I finally found some reference images that were close to what I wanted, so I went back and started updating the assets, concentrating on keeping everything consistent.

Architecture Visualization - A California Bungalow

Friday, 22 May 2020
Rick Palo
Architectural Visualization

When a family member moved to a different house, I decided to memorialize their old house with a 3-D model and associated visualization.  It had been at least six months since I had done anything architecture-related and I was pleasantly surprised to find that both the Blender 2.8X update and associated Add-Ons continue to make the workflow better and faster!

 This is a project I started almost a year ago, but which soon stalled.  I'm back to actively working on recreating one of the paintings in the series, ​Piazzo San Marco​, by the artist Giovanni Antonio Canal.
