From Blender to Glass - I design and build the Lotus Bottle!
In this video I show the entire process of creation, from creating the 3d design in Blender to executing the piece in glass. Blender is a powerful 3d design and animation program that is open-source freeware. You can download the latest version here:
www.blender.org/
The learning curve can be a bit on the steep side, but if I can learn it anyone can! I strongly suggest at least trying it out. There are many advantages to designing in 3d as opposed to sketching.

    Wow! That is an amazing design program. What's more amazing is your ability to manipulate the glass with such precision. Robert, you are truly a god among men in the glass world! You set a great example for the glass community. I love your work.

    Narration is a plus. Did you just bend hot glass around cold glass??!! Wtf? Lol how did that not crack???

    • @RAMickelsen
      @RAMickelsen 2 месяца назад

      It just seems to work. The glass skins up so there is a kind of insulation there where the two pieces touch. You can see it if you look closely. A shadow develops as soon as they touch where the glass is colder. Apparently, it is not enough to shock the cold piece of glass.

    I personally prefer having an explanation as a voiceover rather than listening to music. I believe you can pinpoint important details that otherwise might be overlooked, some insights are eye opening. Thanks for sharing your process, it’s much appreciated.

    Question: What long-term health impacts have you experienced working on the torch as long as you have?

    • @RAMickelsen
      @RAMickelsen 3 месяца назад

      Not many. I am fortunate that way. About the only thing I can think of is cataracts, but that is a hazard that affects every hot glass worker. The good news is that cataracts are easy to fix and covered by insurance.
