So yea I am moving from where I live at the moment, gonna be some down time from the blog and “in communicado” as one would call it, right? Have some plans for my 3d movement when I get back, gonna see what I can do.

See ya when I get back on the internet.

Such a blast

Such a blast to play around with this, composite nodes rules. haha

Made some changes

Made some changes to the post amount here on the front page, setting it to 20 then if too many I just delete them. Been experimenting with Depth Of Field today and finally after several tries I started to get the hang of it. A certain value that is doing a lot which took me some time to understand why it did that, funny that lol.

Composite nodes is really powerful, however found out that some of them probably works better to do in a image processing software, like Gimp. Especially color balance, find it is very primitive in blender itself…. We’ll see, gotta keep experimenting with this…..

Rendering Composite

Experimented more with this sloop (ship) picture, though the sloop isn’t finished it gave some some excuse to keep going with the illustration of it. I think composite nodes starting to make a lot more sense now to me, what kind of adjustement etc that you can do. I wish the camera’s depth of field was an autofunction though and not something you had to composite with defocus….

Btw I experimented with the water in this one aswell, gonna take many tries to perfect water and it probably will be unique in every setting that you do, because the ripples and such depends on a lot of stuff.

Realized I need to mess more with the elements, some water test but it is not super good. Don’t like the result with hard noise either because it makes for hard ripples which to me looks inverted.

Bender

Re-made the head and mouth by suggestion from the forum, looked up some Bender clips on the youtube and some pictures and decided to play around with the eyes a little. Guess those wires move when he speaks but I am too lazy to make some wire movement. Not part of the model either lol.

Tried a quick interpretation of a football pitch 20 minutes speed model. No particles, sorry. haha
