2d Game

If you're able to try and check out this quick tutorial here on how to create a simple 2d platform game.. Add a few objects, change the background & you're good to go! Have a play :)

Rendered Scene

Saved a final render image of my 3d Scene today and am fairly happy with how it's come out, see what you think;

Physics/Particles #2 - Grass

Hey all, followed this youtube pictorial on how to create a simple patch of grass on a plane using textures & particles. Honestly found this tutorial to be one of the best for grass coming in at under 3 minutes.
This patch is useful for a number of animations & a good insight into particles so if you've got the time check it out

Links bar & Upcoming

I've placed a links bar on the right hand side of this page to provide you with some of the regulatory bodies and classification & copyright in the media industry although there is no governing body of regulators specifically to the 3d modelling industry. In the next few posts I'll be providing some more information regarding the particles system/physics engine.

Guitar Figure

Managed to complete a guitar playing figure during the week which will be linked into my 3d scene, the guitar comprises of 5 individually made pieces; the body, bridge, neck, headstock & saddle and were all created using a reference image or two from an early OM Acoustic Guitar plan by C.Grellier.

Blender Guru - Physics/Particles #1

A tutorial I had alot of fun with, in which was placed in the Top 10 Tutorials of 2011 on Blender Guru, and am still inspired to play with, uses Smoke particles to create an impressive looking Flamethrower..
Smoke & the particle system in general is alot of fun to play with, so here's a thumbnail & an additional link at the bottom if you're able to view it that may inspire you to delve into the wealth of resources available.

If you're interested here's some eyegasms/examples of blender smoke effects that'll leave you in awe :)

Blender Guru - Inspiration

Keen to get those creative juices flowing..? I've found Blender Guru to be a gem in terms of inspiration & learning tools by providing an extensive list of high quality Blender video tutorials.. I can assure you that if you're able to spend some time flicking through the thumbnails you're bound to find a fun idea or two.. :)

Welcome to the blog!

Hey all.. I'll be using this blog to share some of the resources that have aided me in learning the foundations of Blender 3D modelling along with some of the regulatory bodies & codes of practice in order to give you a bit of an insight into this up & coming industry, hopefully you are able to find these posts of some use. Cheers, Sam.
