New video tutorial

July 9, 2014
Hey all!

Super excited about today! I get to share my second video tutorial for Blender! Just a little taste-test:



I just loved doing this, but as a noob on video tutorials, I only saw after recording it that I didn't have the cursor visible, so sorry about that. Regardless, if you're familiar with Blender, this should not overwhelm you, so enjoy! :D

In this lovely tutorial, I cover how to do grass. Note that this is not typical grass. This is about lawn grass that you can actually zoom in on and see the veins, see the spots and so on. While based in particles, it is compositing, this tutorial is largely about showing you that procedural textures are a lot more useful than most people realize! :D

Now for the important info:
Credit and link

There is no way that I could've done this tutorial if GOD didn't guide me in learning all these things. HE sent me to various tutorials over the years and I've learned a great deal just by everyday guidance from HIM. So please, see this tutorial as a gift from GOD to you, especially the sun glare.

Enjoy!

Thank YOU!!!!!!

Hey all!

Yey for another BGE tutorial, I would say, haha.

Today, like the title says, we're talking about caustics in BGE. As you all know, there are some incredible projects for this, and one that particularly stands out, but these, at least for me, has never been an option without scripting, so, I needed to find another way and this is it:

(Focus on the back wall and on the floor)

Doing this is incredibly easy. In the same way that you would add an animated texture to a plane for water, you add...

2D animation in 3D software

June 2, 2014
Hey all

Today I'd like to take a look at a previous image I had made, also toon shading, but reveal a clever trick I don't think you may know yet, and if you do, it's a great reminder! :D

First, the image:


This message is paramount to you having a peaceful mind and heart - basically, garbage in, garbage out. What that means is, if you think on sinful things, lustful things and you keep exposing yourself to that, you produce toxicity in your mind and heart. Sin is physically and spiritually bad f...
