paddywwoof writes: This is the final part of my short series modelling a windmill in the north of England, following on from the previous parts one and two. Once again there are two videos needed to explain the process of cloning from a reference image to an object image texture. The first video covers some more of the gochas when setting up reference images to align with camera views and does some more fine-tuning of of the mesh to match. https://youtu.be/mHijll3QVFE The final video explains how an additional UV map can be created to match the projection of faces in…

Hope you’ll like it, and enjoy the story, the visuals and the battles ☺️ https://youtu.be/75R4g08ImzY Making of: https://youtu.be/HXdkMF_nsXY I put together majority of the scenes and assets in Blender, where I also rendered the shots using Cycles. I also used other, more specialized tools. Absolutely essential for the character meshes and animation was Reallusion’s Character Creator and iClone, as well as the Rokoko suit for capturing my own animations. I employed Marvelous Designer for cloth simulations and…

RTstudios writes: Camera PnPoint is an add-on for Blender that brings a powerful Perspective-n-Point (PnP) solver to the camera tracking workbench. PnP is the problem of estimating the pose of a calibrated camera given a set of known 3D points and their 2D projections in the image. The add-on also includes a camera Calibration solver that allows adjusting the most relevant camera intrinsics, like focal length and radial distortion coefficients, using projection data from the 3D and 2D markers. The main difference between this algorithm and other perspective matching tools is that it does not require pictures with multiple vanishing…
Ammusionist writes: Normally, scrolling through and interacting with Blender groups in social media produces some great pictures, sage advice or occasionally harsh criticism. I was not prepared for what happened in a conversation last Friday though, A member was asking about a feature in a non-Blender 3D application that provided a quick view for adjusting lighting on the fly. A sort of “What you need and noting you don’t” editor for lighting. As the conversation continues, another member, Corey Corza, started posting screenshots for an add on to perform this function in Blender. He was actually writing the Add-On live…
yogyog writes: This tutorial is for people like I was a few weeks ago, who really wanted to a first step up to learning geo-nodes but needed that step up. And they didn’t want that step up to be a half hour tutorial – just the basics. This tells you enough so you can start using geo-nodes where you were previously using static particles – grass, trees, weeds, or in this case mushrooms.
