LOOPS

I'm doing some lighter work on the laptop while BEEFMASTER's brain is off getting replaced. These are some looping textures compliments of CG Cookie. The first three were made by following steps in the tutorial and the last one was me screwing around with saw waves, noise vectors, and compositor filters. All of these are procedural, animated textures.

Also, a bonus planet from the same series:

I attempted to show a world office of Blender where everyone can study, take rest and simple have a good time. I also wanted to show a berth but I’m

Styling and Rendering Long Hair with Blender and Cycles

Hair Rendering in Cycles Training Series

Blender 2.66 has been released (check out Jonathan’s overview) and with it Cycles’ strand-rendering. This enables us to achieve believable hairstyles with relative ease, compared to the former Blender Internal method. However, shading and rendering is only half the battle. Strand editing and styling is where the war of believable hair is won or lost.

Create stunning hair for your characters in Blender by joining Citizen for just $10

In this multi-part citizen training series I’ll be walking you through my workflow from a bald-head mannequin to a long and flowing female hairstyle. Along the way we’ll be diving into particle hair systems, strand editing, and strand shading and rendering with Cycles.

The Challenge

Realistic long hairstyles are notoriously difficult to achieve with computer graphics. Several professional plugins have been developed for other apps that are strictly devoted to strand styling and rendering. With Blender’s built-in tools we’re able to get very specific with our groom. This works by creating multiple particle systems, dialing in the robust kinking and randomization settings, and finally rendering cylindrical strands complete with physically correct lighting. When combining these tools with real-world observation and patience you’ll be turning heads with your digital hairdo!

Changing hair color is easy!

Using the strand shader created during the tutorial, changing the color is very easy. This allows you to create a range of variations quickly.

Modeling for 3D Printing with Shapeways

Create Models for 3D printing with Shapeways in Blender

3D printing continues to get better and cheaper every day. It also is becoming more accessible to casual users and artists. One of the great services offering 3D Printing to you and I is Shapeways. Shapeways allows you to not only get your models printed, it allows you to create an online shop to sell your own models. It’s like the Etsy of 3D printing.

However, preparing your models for 3D printing has it’s own set of requirements. You need to take into account the physical size of the model. Is the model solid or hollow? How thick are the walls? Will the form support its self in the chose material? Among other things, these are just a few of the bits you need to keep in mind when preparing your model for printing.

This tutorial takes you through the process of preparing Suzanne, Blender’s monkey mascot, for printing from start to finish. You’ll learn how to work with real-world measurements, how to hollow out the model, how to check for non-manifold meshes, how to make an escape hole, and more.

Lots of Citizen Content Coming Soon!

Over the next few months I'm going to be working to push out a lot of new Citizen content on Blender Cookie. One of goals for Citizen, is to make it a service that really helps you increase your Blender skills to work professionally with Blender. This means there's a lot of content coming that is geared specifically to improving skills, workflows, and other aspects of how you use Blender.

A couple of the specific series and topics that I'm going to be covering include:

Mastering Cycles - A look at how to use all the advanced features in Cycles to gain full control over your renders.

Learning the Modeling Tools - A complete series dedicated to learning all of the different modeling tools in Blender so that you can become a more efficient and productive modeler.

Introduction to Hard Surface Modeling - A look at how to approach hard-surface modeling.

Introduction to Organic Character Modeling - A look at the key aspects of creating organic characters

Introduction to Sculpting - Learn how to use the sculpting tools in Blender to open up a lot of options for creating great models.

Fun times are ahead!
