BMW R80 Custom – A custom build by Eastern Spirit Garage with a modular design that is a “piece of craftsman art… like 3 bikes in one.”

Bob Ross 3D World – CG Geek takes on a Bob Ross painting, this time, turning it into a 3D world using Blender in nearly a month’s worth of model work.

2D to 3D People – What if you could turn a single photo of a person into 3D? This recent research paper shows how it’s possible. Real-time mocap video too.
