Blender Sushi: anstudy
After a while, I realized that Procedural Animation is really different from Manual Animation. Both creates movements and beautiful visual that can entertain many, but the thinking is different. This is probably obvious for long time animators that got exposed to both.

Using Social Media Creatively to Promote a Film
Bryden McGrath (@Bryden13 on Twitter) wrote an excellent post entitled “44 Ways ‘The Hunger Games’ Social Media Campaign Increased the Movie’s Odds of Success.” He broke up the article by social media platform: Facebook, Google Plus, YouTube, Tumblr and Twitter with a note about the film’s success on Pinterest without an official account on the site. I agree with Bryden that some of the strategies are “nothing short of brilliant.” Especially interesting is the use of the novel’s characters and situations to create more fan involvement (Full disclosure: I have not read any of “The Hunger Games” trilogy. Ever since I read Stephen Walton’s 1967 dystopian novel “No Transfer” I can’t read novels about teens having to kill each other.
Books/GameKit 2/08.GLSL
From BlenderWiki The "Subracer" game features some recent developments which were made for the Apricot Project. This includes GLSL Materials (nomal maps, caustic maps, reflection maps), GLSL mist (nicer and more flexible than the normal BGE mist) and GLSL Shadows. The game idea, concept, game logic, physics, scripts, the ship, the HUD and the cockpit, the gates, mines and special effects were made by me, Carsten Wartmann. The level (the rocks, sandy ground, plants, ancient columns) and the ship design was made by Christopher Plush (blengine), thank you Chris!
How to make a car wheel
This tutorial was created with Blender 2.49, however it will still work in 2.6+ Ever since 3d software was created, artists have hated the car wheel. The intricate detail combined with the circular shape make it one of the most difficult shapes to master.

How to import multiple 2d cutout texture images to Blender 3D
Last week I have suggested a great resource for texture maps of plants and shrubs, along with a small tutorial on how to turn the maps into transparent PNG files ready to use in Blender 3D. If you have tried to use those maps, you may have realized that it will take a long time and work to actually import several maps to Blender. The process involves the creation of a plane, setup UVs, and add materials, textures and adjustments for the material. If you really want to simulate a large amount of trees for an architectural visualization project, it would be great to have a way to import multiple texture files at once. Wouldn’t it? Actually, there is a script for Blender called 2d Cutout Image Import, which can be a great help for this task.
