Have a few weeks to work on this in my free time. You can view recordings of the sculpting sessions at my youtube channel or this playlist.

Comprehensive Geologic Map of the Moon

Have you ever wondered what kind of rocks make up those bright and dark splotches on the moon? Well, the USGS has just released a new authoritative map to help explain the 4.5-billion-year-old history of our nearest neighbor in space. Read all about it at https://www.usgs.gov/news/usgs-releases-first-ever-comprehensive-geologic-map-moon

Anyway heres my 3d version incorporating the maps available at the above link.
Made with Blender and displayed in Sketchfab

Below is a key to the color coding on the surface:

For the first time, the entire lunar surface has been completely mapped and uniformly classified by scientists from the USGS Astrogeology Science Center, in collaboration with NASA and the Lunar Planetary Institute.

The lunar map, called the “Unified Geologic Map of the Moon,” will serve as the definitive blueprint of the moon’s surface geology for future human missions and will be invaluable for the international scientific community, educators and the public-at-large. The digital map is available online now and shows the moon’s geology in incredible detail (1:5,000,000 scale).

Winged Hound Polygon Style

Modelled and animated in Blender. Rendered with cycles.

Hainu are winged dogs. They are strong, fast, and ferocious, and can be as menacing to humans as wolves. … According to the first story, recorded in the Chikugo Kokorogashi in 1777, the winged dog was a ferocious creature which attacked humans and livestock.

Japanese name: 羽犬 Romanized name: Hainu

Rigged and animated version of an older Daily Doodle with Blender.. see the original here - https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/winged-dogs-dfc4e6eb25d04bff9ec780f4c3cb3f4e

Heres the AR and VR viewable model:
