As some of you may or may not know, I dabble a little bit with an awesome 3D software package called blender. I had been following some tutorials over at blenderguru.com and in particular the camera tracking tutorial. So for a little bit of practice, I created a sinkhole in my backyard.
I’m not a very artistic person, I mainly follow along guides and tutorials, but below is my attempt of this tutorial that I did out the backyard a few weeks ago.
While this 3D render of a sinkhole is not perfect (some of the textures definitely need some work), it did fool a few of my Facebook friends, who threatened to call the local emergency authorities to help with filling in the sinkhole..
Karma did get me back though, as a week later we had a burst water main outside our house on our property, so I had a mini mud/water filled hole in my garden. Thankfully that was easy to get fixed.
