I was disappointed by the lack of physical metal versions of #HIVE and #HBD physical #cryptocurrency coins to use as props in my stock photography. To partially close the gap, I have been working on a 3D model of a Hive #coin and staged it in various parts of a simple 3D scene.

It's amazing how real 3D looks these days. You could create almost anything online now. It's already hard enough to know what to believe! 😅

Ray tracing is a game changer; new GPUs with more ray tracing cores get us closer and closer to 60 frames per second of real-time raytracing. You already see it in many AAA games. However, they have to employ lots of tricks and optimisation to make it performant. Won't be long though; another decade and the "metaverse" is going to look like IRL.

Wait until the end of Power Up Day to find out the size of your Power-Bee.
May the Hive Power be with you!

They look very realistic.
Thanks I'm impressed by what 3D can do compared to where I started 20 years ago.
I tried learning 3D but it was much too complicated for my old brain. I'm very impressed with what you have created. I see you used blender to do a lot of the work. Now that is a complicated program, well, at least it is for me!
There was a lot of alt tabbing between YouTube videos, writing down keyboard shortcuts and reverting changes along the way. Fail, fix, repeat.
Congratulations @richardslater! You received a personal badge!
Participate in the next Power Up Day and try to power-up more HIVE to get a bigger Power-Bee.
May the Hive Power be with you!
