Re: The CGI Thread

Any body know how to import a reference picture into Blender 2.5 running on a Mac?

I'm working on getting my studio back up and running, so stay posted...

Re: The CGI Thread

Click 'N' for properties, scroll down the bar that pops up until you see 'Background image', expand that tab and choose load image.

Re: The CGI Thread

Question:

How does one change the number of passes in the Cycles render engine?

I'm stuck at 10, and that doesn't yield the best results.

Render panel>Integrator>Samples

By the way, does anyone know how to make objects shiny in the Cycles render engine? All this "use nodes" stuff is killing me.

Re: The CGI Thread

Thanks!

For the 'use nodes' stuff, just click 'use nodes' on the materials panel, then choose "Glossy" from the materials drop down menu. After that, you can simply adjust the settings to acquire the look you want.

Re: The CGI Thread

hi, sorry this has probably been asked before, but what lego creator program do I use to make models I can Import in to blender and how do I do it?

Alfa

Re: The CGI Thread

Leocad is what I use, it's a little hard to work with though.
I've heard of some others, but I can't remember them at the moment.

Re: The CGI Thread

ok, thanks, what do you export it as?

Re: The CGI Thread

If you don't sticky this, people are going to keep asking the same questions over and over again.

Re: The CGI Thread

Here is a short animation I made in Blender just to test mah skillz.  I'm quite happy from the turnout, though it does have flaws.

I really like the detail of the little spinning thing on the head. mini/smile

Re: The CGI Thread

Yeah... I accidentally made it change direction during the animation process. mini/eek

Re: The CGI Thread

Bumpo.

Here are a few things I made.

1: I have (Almost) perfected Lego material in Blender.

Re: The CGI Thread

I don't think a quick post will cover everything you need to know to animate using Blender or any 3D animation program.  You're going to have to make the effort of learning on your own, like everyone else.  You want a quick fix solution, be a magician or wizard.  Oh wait, they had to take time to learn and practice sorcery too.  Whodathunk.

Plenty of Blender tutorials out there for you to learn from.

ZP: Let's see that door in a scene to better judge if it looks real enough.
