“Teamwork” – my simple blender animation for class

Ktoso — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 01:16:13 +0000

It’s an increadibly tought time now at my Uni, lots and lots of exams, stuff to hand in etc… One of such things is this simple blender animation which I have created with my friend Tomek in order to pass Graphics class:

Yeah it’s simple, rough anc certainly not the next Katedra… ;-) But as a person that totaly sux at graphics I’m quite happy with it, take a look and let me know what you think.

Oh and some other animations by my classmates are avaiable on this youtube playlist, feel free to check it out -- some are really nice.

Fixing Blender problems on IntelGMAX4500

I’ve recently bought a new laptop, a 15.6” HP Probook, that replaced my netbook Asus EEE 900 (needed some bigger hardware to work on “on the move”). One problem I encountered was blender not displaying correctly if I’d expand any dropdown menu etc. The fix is very simple yet powerfull, just set the following:

LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 blender

This will launch blender and render it’s interface in software mode – runs perfectly, and no slowdowns could be detected by me so far :-)

Blender – 04 – Simple Present

With this simple box i’ve learned a little about the “wave” property in blender. This, a little subsurv and smooth subdivision can actually be quite OK for creating a simple ribbon like the one below:The final render looked like this:

Blender – 03 – Wine/bottle/glass

My first blender animation:

The wine doesn’t look nor feel nor even behave like normal wine but it’s just my first animation so there’s still time left for me to improve… ;-)

Blender – 02 – Simple plain with sky

And once again I’m having fun with blender… ;-) In this semester at my University we’ll have to do some simple 3D stuff in XSI. As I don’t want to “learn” a proprietary program I won’t have access to in my future I’m learning to use blender :-) It’s such an amazing tool, and the UI is amazing… it’s vi‘ish – 1 button = lots of actions, which in opposition to the “lots of shiny buttons” apparoach is just amazing/quick/efficient. Love it. :) As this is my 2 “render” in my lifetime, it’s still veeeery simple… I created a simple plain and used subdivision to make it smooth, the sky is created with a “dome” – though I don’t really know if that’s the best way to add skys to scenes… Ah well, here is it:

Blender – 01 – Bałwan

Mój pierwszy raz z Blenderem, fantastycznym narzędziem do grafiki 3D… W kilku słowach: “Było fajnie”. Grafika 3D to bardzo ciekawa sprawa, niestety również dość trudna ;) Jak na pierwszy raz jednak, jestem zadowolony z mojej scenki… Jako że nadal trwa zima, tematyczny bałwanek:

Jak na pierwszy raz (posiłkowany tutorialem i tym co kiedyś kolega na infie mi pokazywał) chyba nie tak strasznie co? Dla zainteresowanych również link do screenshota tej sceny jak wygląda w blenderze: http://upshit.project13.pl/files/blenderowanie.png
