Gorre's blender site

Hey. These are some of the renders I made in Blender in couple of years. Most of them were intended as a next-gen replacement for the old good Transport Tycoon game. You might find them not-so-impressive, well, they aren't after all. But I just don't want to let my work rot on my hard-drives anymore, so here they are. You might also find a common denominator, which is that in fact, none of these are finished. And most likely, they never will be. If you for some unknown reasons want the .blend files, drop me a line at any email adress on this domain.

Baby steps

This building is most likely the first one I've ever made. Obviously hugely inspired by an image I saw on the tt-forums. I had no idea what I was doing at the time, I tried to copy this and copy that. Well, I guess it only lacks windows now.

Flats

This bunch of little building was my follow-up project, I didn't even have to borrow ideas from all over the internet. If I recall correctly, an old building in downtown Prague (Podolí) was an inspiration.

Crane

A crane. No, it's not animated.

Bridge

That beautiful steamer model is not mine, unfortunately.

Oil/Water rig/distribution center

As the title suggests, I never really chose what this project was about. Originally, I wanted it to be an oil rig, but when most work was done, I suddendly realize that it just doesnt look like an oil rig. At all. I had to improvize and rebrand it as an oil refinery or anything doing stuff with/to liquids in general. The most fitting description would be 'that old abandoned building that nobody knows what it was for'.
I even added several construction phases (that's probably when I realized that that's not how oil rigs are born). The last picture in sequence is 7mb high-res (HD wasn't even a catchphrase back then).
There's more (e.g. different versions) to come at the very bottom of this page.

School

A local school with a playground. Children (and trees) are not included.

Offices

A non-existent offices of some sort, might be as well a commercial center. Frankly, I was experimenting with reflexions. I am not sure if those trees are mine, might as well be..borrowed. But those umbrellas are certainly mine!

Jaderná elektrárna Temelín/Temelín Nuclear Power Station

For the first time I was actually using additional material to help me do stuff, e.g. photos and blueprints. But the project ran into significant difficulties when I could find enough (any) photographs. The project was later abandoned in favor of other things...

HQ

Remodelling of TT's own headquarters. Could use some trees...

Star destroyer

While the usefulness of having all that eye-candy on top of the superstructure is might debatable, this ship never left the dry-dock.

Subway

After several years of doing nothing (in Blender), I made this in 2011 as a first project in Blender 2.5 series. Might as well be the first time I used actual textures. I might finish the planned station, one day. Thanks to Andrew Price of http://www.blenderguru.com/ for his tutorials!
