Rotating potted emotes

2020 "Speeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen"

Summary

This set of 3 spinning models features a cactus, a calico cat, and Kirby sat in flowerpots, for use as Discord emotes. Texturing was done manually with painted sections and procedurally with noise alike.

Overview

These three spinny potted emotes were created in 3D using Blender, primarily with subdivided cubes. Each one features a different colour of the same simple flowerpot, with a thin layer of sand in the pots peeking out above the rim. The cactus was based on my profile picture, so two purple orbs float above its two arms. The cactus is textured using a procedural distorted noise material colour-limited with a colour ramp, while the orbs use different noise to create a specular, shimmering effect (in lieu of emission, which doesn't cooperate with the holdout materials in the background that make these renders transparent). The calico cat instead uses manually texture-painted blobs of colour assigned to its UV map. Meanwhile, the Kirby uses simple materials but with shiny eyes as he spins around fully stuck in the flowerpot.
