Hey! I'm having an incredible learning experience, not only learning how Blender works (yes, still learning), but also about Open-Source and the incredible software available. Stick around!

Progress on the final stages of the Blender Render section

August 29, 2012

Hey peoples!

I have been working hard this morning fixing some things, shrinking others and having quite a bit to do, lol.

Specifically, I can't disclose it yet (want it to be surprise), but I can tell you that there are at least still two pages to finish and add, bringing the total amount of pages to a round 150 for the Blender Render section (if I don't find more to add of course), but I have started working with Cycles again so I can do it justice for all of you.

I also made sure that I can replicate most of the results from the Blender Render section and hopefully improve on those. There is quite a bit of difficulty on this, so please patient as I work on this part of the book for the next while.

Have a really great day everyone!!! Hope you are looking forward to this one's completion as much as I am (btw, I have not forgotten about the new 3D tutorial).

Thank YOU!!!!!!

Thank YOU soo much for all the help so far and especially all the guidance to get it to this point! YOU rock!!!!!!

Lemon tree is growin'

August 24, 2012

Hey all!

Apart from all the visual projects, I really do enjoy gardening. I believe HE asked me to plant quite a few things, one of which is this little lemon tree. I checked Wikipedia to make sure I wasn't taking a great picture of a weed, LOL.

Though the picture isn't very sharp, I really think for my cellphone's camera, it did come out extremely well. It was touched up in The Gimp.

This one was done with my dedicated digital camera and it required about the same amount of touch up, if not a b...

Camera tracking tips!!

August 23, 2012

Hey all!!

I want to give you all a freebie on account of all the visitors to the site. 65 per week is a good number so far and I really appreciate every reader!!

The last week or so, I've done work with camera tracking, to try and figure out how I can best work with it and get a great result and HE has given some great advice on working with them and some features you may not know about in Blender.

There are many things to consider, one of them is the amount of complex shapes you...
