Selfmade

Playing around with Blender again. Wanted to try out how "visible" light can be made. I hoped that'd be as easy as switching on the Mist button, but unfortunately it was not so easy. However, after a couple of trial and errors, i finally found the Halo button on the lamp object, which is pretty much what I was looking for to get that noir-stylish Batman Skybeam effect.

Added a filled bezier curve object targeted by a spot light. The object has a Cloud texture to increase the fog effect. Duplicated that object's curve path and gave the second object a Halo effect itself, so it shines a little bit around the edges. For the background, I used a very large plane with the same Cloud procedural texture and using Alpha as the Map To parameter, so the stars shine through. For the city skyline, i copied a few plain cubes and resized them individually on their Y axis. Kept the color very dark, so you don't see all the glitches.

This is how the Blender Desktop looks like:

On friday, I visited an english food store located in the city of Zug, Switzerland, where I'm currently working.

There, I bought Patak's Tandoori Curry Paste with Tamarind and Ginger. After reading the recipe, I started to merge all the required ingredients into a bowl:
- Yogurt (500g)
- Tandoori Curry Paste (two table spoons)
- Chicken (cut into dices)
- Oil

Now, i'm waiting for it to marinate until tomorrow. Then, it will be cooked until no liquid is left or it gets creamy enough.
