New Start-up Blender File

OK...for those of you who have been using my cherry-picking tips for Blender, here is the new start-up file for the latest Blender release......

Obviously you need to download Blender first....

This is a 9 minute mushroom tutorial aimed at those who have already taken the Blender Is Easy tutorial but want to upgrade.





There are a few improvements that I noticed with the new Blender release.... one being the Smooth Vertices, which seems to be less fierce... and the sculpt mode has more preset brushes... oh, and there are more preset Views for those of us that dont' remember hotkeys and shortcuts....





As you will see from the final result the sculpting of the top of the mushroom didn't produce many lumps...oh well...

Blender tutorial...a start...

Sorry...the next 6 posts have been sent from Posterous and are all back to front...


eeeeek....the correct order should be....


1
2
3
4
5
6


anyway.....you are a bright bunch....work it out..:))

Anyway...the idea is that its a cherry-picking type of tuition...there are loads better and detailed videos out there on Blender...thing is tho they are enough to send most people running for the hills...

Like trying to learn to drive a car when your instructor wants to teach you the physics of combustion and the mechanics of motion.... "JUST TELL ME WHICH PEDAL TO PUSH.."

..so..you could end up like me, knowing nothing about Blender except how to use it...

The above steps will get you to a stage where you can make strange 3D shapes at home ... the secret is to play.....mess it up and start again...that's the way...

The stage after that is called "Baking"...that's where you get to import it (soror style) to SL/VW.... we will deal with that later....
