19 :) 1. why comments are important? 2. hidden functions in blender! 3. more news! 18 May 2008

1. why comments are important?
When I started with this blog, the goal was to convey everything that I learned from my experience with “blender” … . This idea would not have lasted much without the support of all of you who come daily (or common) to read the articles. And speaking of support in the blog’s world, is talking about two fundamental things: Visits and comments … The number of visits remains fairly constant and a low number but good, however comments are falling. And there is the problem, everyone knows that i do it by passion, devoting hours to learn and hours to publish the article (which maintains a blog will know it!) Then when we do an post and do not receive feedback, is a bad thing because we wandering if we are losing the course,… if the article is good or if-directly- a loss of time. A reaction reflected in a comment means a great tool, but also a great support, makes us feel that there are people on the other side who thinks things (good and bad things) and who wants to generate a dialogue on the basis on the subject under discussion.Summing up for not getting heavy: Do not be vague for comment, will seize to comment on each item they see because they will generate that people still want to write! I hope I have understood! (more…)

6 :) Preview del personaje principal… y noticias del mundo blender 3d! 10 April 2008

Que tal todo?, por acá anduvo todo muy bien gracias a dios!, el curso de blender está saliendo bárbaro!, me hice hoy un tiempito y me dediqué a hacer el nuevo personaje del corto, se trata del personaje principal. Aún no tiene nombre… pueden hacer sugerencias jeje…

Al igual que el personaje de la vieja chismosa, se trata solo de la malla con una configuración de material SSS y una sola textura noise para darle una sensación mas rugosa. En la versión final de ambos personajes incluiré el mapeado UV de algunos detalles, me gusta el estilo bien limpito asi que será muy similar a estos renders que cuelgo ahora. (more…)
