Stickers based on Blender 3D Models
These stickers do exist (unlike the T-shirts found elsewhere on this website). In the pursuit of rending 3D Blender models into 2D graphics, it is infinitely easier and cheaper to produce a set of stickers than a series of T-shirts. Below are documented attempts at sticker creation and application for practical and less-than-practical purposes. Thanks for reading! -Scott
Ammonoids swimming in Nalgene water bottles
These stickers below were an attempt at creating a set of stickers that would be interactive with a Nalgene water bottle. By “interactive” I mean that the sticker has a relationship with the shape and structure of the water bottle rather than simply being a random sticker applied to a random spot on a water bottle. In this case, I liked the idea of an ammonoid swimming in a Nalgene water bottle like a goldfish in a fish bowl. Admittedly, this does raise a few questions. How did the ammonoid fit through the mouth of the bottle? Is this sufficient space for an ammonoid to live? I don’t have a good answer for how the ammonoid entered the mouth of the bottle, and I also can’t speak to the livability of the water bottle. I really just like the idea that this is how the ammonoid travels. When the ammonoid wants to travel, go on a hike, climb a mountain (with help of course), it just hops into its favorite Nalgene water bottle, and it’s ready to be taken on an adventure. It’s probably not worth over-analyzing. The stickers are approximately 5.5 inches long by 3.25 inches high. They are designed specifically to fit a Nalgene 32 oz Wide Mouth Sustain Water Bottle. Below are shown the three types of ammonoids on three different colors of Nalgene water bottle. The green goniatite is stuck to a “Baby Blue” Nalgene bottle. The blue ceratite is stuck to a “Cosmo” Nalgene bottle. The pink ammonite is stuck to a “Pear” Nalgene bottle. Of course, one could stick these ammonoids anywhere they like. But, for me, I really enjoy the Nalgene water bottle for its functionality.
Cambrian Period animals: Camptostroma, Helicoplacus, Lichenoides, and Olenellus
This is an assortment of Cambrian Period animal stickers. All stickers are based on 3D models that I’ve created for different purposes. The echinoderms Camptostroma, Helicoplacus, and Lichenoides are based on models that I created for 3D printing purposes, and their 3D printed equivalents can be found on the 3D Printing section of this website. The trilobite Olenellus is based on a 3D model that I created for an animated video demonstrating a trilobite walking mechanism in the “An improbable interaction between Olenellus and Helicoplacus” video in the 3D Animations section of this website.
