Topic: Bitcoin 3D renders - Free to use as wallpaper, for promotion, or commercially (Read 18415 times)

Didn't know there was another new one too. Now I don't know where to go, I'll see where it settles.

There is another new forum next to the brandnew forum.bitcoin.com one? Guess I'll have to make an account on there as well. Anyway, another nice render, as always!

This will be my last update, I'm moving over to the bitco.in forum.

I wonder if this will make theymos ban me here...

Thanks all for the compliments, glad you like them!

I like these!

Wow

this is great.

very nice and good job.

Goodluck

Duke

amazing

SWEEEET!

These are beautiful from all aspects of a 3d design. I've been doing some of my own but my skills are extremely limited (especially in modeling the meshes).

wow these wallpapers are cool going to download one for my tablet and donate you

If there is anyone who wants a super high quality, or super large print of the Tron inspired scene, here is a link to an enormous version (196MB, 18,000x12,000) I rendered on request and was allowed to share. I hope someone prints out an extremely large version some day

Here is my newest render (click to enlarge 1440p), here you can download a lossless PNG without compression. Many times people commented on my previous work that they weren't fans of coin shaped Bitcoin pictures, since Bitcoin of course doesn't exist in coin form. So here is my first Bitcoin image where there is nothing that looks like a coin. I'm not completely satisfied with this one, but I couldn't really figure out how to make it better. If anyone has ideas let me know.

Thanks! Never got round to polishing and finishing that animation, maybe I should get back to it, first finishing up a new render, expect it in a few hours probably.

Very impressive!

Especially the falling bitcoin animation - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d99dLbM4eGY

I set up a place where you can buy prints (and pay in Bitcoin). Quite happy with the results:

Good stuff, very professional!

Thanks!

Just activated http://cybrbeast.tip.me

These are beautiful!

pretty good work.

Absolutely awesome!
Using one on my work PC.

Thanks. 

Interesting idea, I'll see if I get round to trying it.

I don't suppose you could use United States denominated money (like quarters, nickels, dimes, even a $100 dollar bill) and have those transition into your digital representations of bitcoin, aka the wireframe, etc?  I think that would be pretty cool. :-)

I do make custom designs for a fee.

I found a poster printing service that accepts Bitcoin payment so I uploaded my designs there if anyone is interested: https://www.openprints.com/cybrbeast/

Let us know if you do this art as a way of making $.
I am interested in having some work done.
Great job.

Same, i wouldn't mind some 3d renders knocked up for a bitcoin project.  Please PM me

Great work on this. I love the styling it is a lot different than most.
Do you have a website with more of your work?
Do you do client type work like this? If so I would be interested in more info.

This is to become my new desktop background. *dips hat to creator*

By the way. I appreciate your work. I might be using these as backgrounds within future websites so bookmarked and thank you.

Actually I don't require attribution, but I couldn't find a license for that. Do you know what that would be, so free for all use, personal and commercial, free to edit, no attribution required.

What license are they under?
Anything creative commons perhaps?

Thanks, glad you like it, was fun to make.

Looks amazing man! Going to use that as an example for when people want to see the difference between BTC, mBTC and uBTC.

My most recent work was trying to visualize the magnitude of 100,000,000 Satoshis (1 BTC)

Click to enlarge!

Thanks! They are used in the media every now and then. Maybe they will be used more now they are in the press section of Bitcoin.org. Haven't submitted this image yet though.

Absolutely incredible! Would love to see these being used by the news channels.

I finally got round to doing that  



And here is a more traditional yellow orange colored one

My renders have been included in the free stock pictures on Bitcoin.org

http://bitcoin.org/en/press

Awesome! 

Hah! that's perfect, thanks a lot,

I'll write that on mouseover.

Im jumping right on this, give me a few minutes!

Sure! You could ask Isokivi if he has a fistful, as he sells the coins. Here is his thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2415647

Nice!

i have a blog by the name "a fistful of bitcoins" Can i use this pic for it?
i have no content published yet, but very soon!

Or does anyone have a picture of a fistful of physical coins?

not to mention you can get it all rendered free of charge

I used Blender and the included Cycles render engine, it's free and open source. Quite a learning curve, but there are lots of good (video) tutorials.

Nice man, what program do you use to make these? I'd love to learn how to make this.

Did you make these in Cinema 4D?

I just looked around online to see if my freely available renders have been used lately. The three most recent articles featuring some of my work:

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/first-bitcoin-atms-start-popping-152610705.html

http://juliansarokin.com/banks-bitcoin-the-future-of-payments/

http://olhardigital.uol.com.br/pro/noticia/38642/38642  (Portuguese article)

Nice to see people making use of them. I should get back to making some new ones again, work stress is keeping my creativity down though.

I've just made some wallpapers and the CAD models available at CoinDL on a 'Pay What You Want' pricing for anyone who wants to support my work.

https://www.coindl.com/page/author/468

Just made a new avatar for weex

I got the physical versions of my coins yesterday from btctrinkets.com. Totally free because I authorised the use of my design. Had no idea they were this big and heavy, I love em

Done

hello Cybrbeast, I would love to use you turning bitcoin's in the corner of all my future bitcoin videos please PM me

Always nice to hear that! 

Me, too.

I have one of your renders as my wallpaper. It looks so good.

I have produced these magnificient renderings in physical form with cybrbeast's consent:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2099663

I love 'em! Excellent job!

I made an avatar for Bitcointalk user cypherdoc



It's too bad I couldn't fix the rough edges around the coin for him. But this is a limitation of the GIF format, you only have transparent or non-transparent pixels, there is no gradient possible.

And I also made an avatar for myself as you can see  

Next I'll go work on a Tron coin when I have the time, unless someone else has a request.

Yes, this is a particularly cool version:

Tron coins, seems like a good challenge.

Great work.

I love the digital coins. More appropriate than the gold coin lookalikes.

Edit: coins that look like they came out of a Tron movie might be cool too

I just discovered Sketchfab, this allows you to upload 3D models so others can see them interactively. Here they are: http://skfb.ly/5lji32dca

Thanks Nova. They took quite some work, but probably less than you expect. The hard surface modelling is something I've been learning and the tools Blender offers to aid it are quite good. Once you got the models, materials, and lighting nicely set up, it's really the power of the Cycles render engine that makes it look realistic. Many people with CGI skills would point out that they are not very realistic as they are missing grime and scratches real coins would have, they are too perfect. To do a good job at that requires advanced texturing skills which I'm not really that proficient in, and besides I actually like them to look perfect

These are incredible.  I had to do a double take, I can't believe those are just renders.  They must represent a heck of a lot of work.
Fantastic Job!

I'm moving over to the bitco.in forum and will not be updating this thread anymore. I wonder if this will make theymos ban me here...

---------------------------------------------

I showed off some Bitcoin related CGI work in the past and it was well received. I've been working on some more designs and like to share them with you. Everything was made in Blender, which is free and open source. First the old designs for those who haven't seen them yet:



Here is the first work I posted and it got a positive response. After this I made some more close-up shots of the coins finally resulting in this massive 3840x2160 image.

Some details on the features of the coin designs; the 1 coin has a p2p network on the front side and the binary on the rim spells "Bitcoin". The 5 coin has a "block-chain" on the front side and "Vires in Numeris" on the rim. You can explore the models in 3D here: http://skfb.ly/5lji32dca

One of the most frequent critiques I got was that Bitcoins aren't really a physical thing so it should look more digital. I understand that and took that to heart so the first thing I made after that was a coin-wireframe integration. Here and here.



Here is a fully digital Bitcoin, still a bit of a work in progress though.



A tron inspired scene.



My most recent work was trying to visualize the magnitude of 100,000,000 Satoshi=1 BTC (Click to enlarge!)



Here is the complete album with of all renders so far in high resolution.

I've also made some animation experiments with falling Bitcoins, and the digital bitcoin glowing and rotating (need to watch in HD to really see it). These are just tests though, as with my current rig rendering full high quality animations isn't really feasible.

Finally I made some Litcoins and Bitcoins on commission, which my client allowed me to share.

All the work above has a CC0 license, so free for all use even without credits, though tips are very much appreciated of course. So if anyone is feeling generous or wants to use them and give me something even though they are free, you are very welcome to do so at: 1BmSFrbDDYT46W6aLpRNk72yA57RvkJgDP or http://cybrbeast.tip.me

Some of my work has shown up in some articles and sites already. My wallpapers are also available at CoinDL on a 'Pay What You Want' pricing if you want to support my work: https://www.coindl.com/page/author/604

I've also made the 3D models of the coins available for those who know how to use them. I use blender. For people without Blender I've also exported Collada and OBJ files. They are available at CoinDL on a 'Pay What You Want' pricing, i.e. free if you don't want to pay.
https://www.coindl.com/page/item/1052 (Here is a direct download link)

Isokivi who runs btctrinkets also used my design to make physical coins stamped out of metal (no Bitcoin value, just nice objects), I've got a pair and I think they turned out great, nice and big and heavy.



I hope you guys enjoy the work.

I also made my avatar, and one for cypherdoc (these are obviously not free to use for everyone). Here is a Bitcoin/Litecoin spinner.

You can get prints here (can pay in Bitcoin).
