About Me


Marius Oberholster 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!

Paul Personal Training!

June 26, 2012
My brother needed a personal logo for his group on FB.

I usually like to do the designing, but prefer it if the person actually gives me a sketch of what they want me to do and then just transform that into a final product. And that's what we have here.

My brother has very specific ideas about what he wants and so with such clients is essential that they give a proper example of what they want, and that way they can very easily be satisfied with the work.

In this case, he only requested that the platform's bottom be made black so that was a quick render and adjustment.
In case you were curious, this was made in Blender with only procedural textures, even the wood. And the font is his design and modified a bit.


This was definitely a fun project!!

Thank YOU JESUS!!!!!!

Hope you like 'em!!



The first one is extremely vague on modeling, because that needs to be the artist's job, but it is quite clear on the texturing, which is what it's about. Both include a FullHD render of the cover pic (without cropping) at the end of the tutoria...

GOD gave my dad a job!

This is just so cool!

My dad had just gotten ready to start with the car service thing and was lead (unknowingly to him) to buy the newspapers one more time and apply for whatever he finds there and guess what, within a week he got the job!

So the car service gig is out and he started yesterday. Things are going well so far and we pray it will only get better from here.

Why is this just so cool? Because after more than a year of job searching, applying possibly thousands of times, this last prom...

Still here and workin'!

June 12, 2012
Hey peoples!

I haven't dropped off the face of the earth the last week or so.

As you know it's the new Blender Guru Competition and the theme is Photo Realism (yey). I've been hard at work on my entry and because I don't want to give the idea away of what I'm doing, I haven't posted anything here.

I will say this though:
 - I'm using Blender Render,
 - The image only has techniques in that are in the book already and will be added (except for modeling and lighting, since it's a book about texturi...
