Model a sperm whale in Blender 2.5 Beginning with a simple cube and gradually refining its form, you will learn how to add detail to the model while maintaining a low poly count as you progress through the tutorial. The modern 3D industry, particularly games and film work, requires digital models that are ready to use for animation. The efficiency of animation depends upon the construction of the model. If the model is heavy on polygons, it tends to slow down the machine and interferes with the process of smooth animation. On the other hand, if the model has a very low poly count, it can lose detail, and therefore visual appeal. The task of the artist is to strike an appropriate balance between the two. Before we begin, let’s run through some of the keyboard shortcuts used in this tutorial. Let’s begin. Before you begin modelling, it is advisable to have an image to use for reference. Now, press the [Tab] key on the keyboard to take the default cube into Edit mode.
CG Cookie Lighting in Blender Internal Part I : Basics I. Basics print version | .blend files Hello, I'm Marek Skrajnowski (some might know me as Kroni/Kronos from forums) and I've been using blender as a hobby for about 3 years now. I'd like to share my knowledge about lighting in Blender Internal using new features in SVN (after v.2.45) - so you should grab an SVN build from graphicall.org. It's not a beginner's tutorial, you have to know the basics of Blender's UI and how to get around, as I don't want to make a click-here-click-there tutorial, instead I've attached all the .blend files used in the tutorial. I've divided this tutorial into 5 parts I'd like to cover: 1. This part of the tutorial will cover basic info about lighting in blender, light types and their properties and usage, Ambient Occlusion, compositing with nodes to speed up the setup. Point Light: hard shadows, soft 2, soft 4 Lamp - point/sphere light Nothing to add really, can be used for all kinds of light bulb based sources. Attributes: Sun light Spot Lamp/Light Hints: Sun Sky

A Brief Blender History Lesson : Prior to the release of Blender 1.8a (Complete Blender) the more advanced features (including Python scripting) were reserved for the users of Blender who had purchased a Ckey. CAUTION : As of version 1.8a, Blender is no longer restricted by the Ckey, and all of the advanced features, available at this time (June 21, 2000), have been transferred to the free version of Blender. Note that some of the Python scripts that you encounter on the Internet may have been written for an older version of Blender and may not have been updated by the author yet.

Fluid Simulation for Dummies Fluid Simulation for Dummies In the spring and summer of 2005, I wrote my Master's thesis on high-performance real-time 3D fluid simulation and volumetric rendering. The basics of the fluid simulation that I used are straightforward, but I had a very difficult time understanding it. The available reference materials were all very good, but they were a bit too physics-y and math-y for me. Unable to find something geared towards somebody of my mindset, I'd like to write the page I wish I'd had a year ago. The simulation code and ideas that I'm going to present are based on Jos Stam's paper Real-Time Fluid Dynamics for Games. Basics Fluid simulation is based on the Navier-Stokes equations, which are fundamental, interesting, and difficult to understand without a good background in physics and differential equations. Think of a fluid as a collection of boxes or cells. To make things simpler, we're only going to examine incompressible fluid. Data Structures And to add some velocity: set_bnd
News Latest Build Available – Soon to be released to the public for testing! « Save The Ocean Sim – Project News We’ve been on a bit of a break due to holidays, and work schedules, but I wanted to let you know about the latest build of the Ocean Simulation Tools version of Blender that has been posted. Contrary to some people’s belief, the project has not died, and work is progressing very well! : ) The newest build is the January 4th version which is now available for donors for Win 32/64, Linux 32/64, and OSX 64 as usual. Here’s what is new to this build: Updates in Build 0104 • Ability to Sync Ocean Modifier with Ocean Texture After hedging our bets on what the final ocean tool would be, it looks like a combination of the modifier and texture will give the most flexible results. • Ocean Modifier Mesh Displacement Choice The ability for the modifier to choose between either generating the ocean surface grid directly and displacing that or just displacing existing geometry. • Hooked up Normal information from Ocean Sim code to the modifier. Next Steps Budget Todd
