A friend and I are working on a private game just for fun, and this is our first character from the game. My goal is to have great animation in the game, and I decided to do a just for fun animation as a promo for this character.

Turns out the Suzanne Awards festival is looking for character animation, and I thought I would submit this :)

Multi Camera Edition in Blender Sequence Editor – Mockup…
pablo lizardo - digital artist - 2009-10-22 17:48:36

Hello, this post is in english because the topic is focus in the blender developer community!

Recently i see how Edius work when has multiples cameras or shots of the same sequence. Edius has an multicam feature that let you to choose which camera do you want to get active seeing all the others cameras as well at the same time.

So, i made a mockup for blender to see if there’s a posibility to someone work on it.

In fact, i don’t know if it’s a good idea, but i feel that i like to have it on blender.

Well, nothing more, sorry by my poor english.

Here’s an explanation of how it works…

First, you have to select what strip (or channel) will be ready for multicam feature. I think that a button in the properties panel will be the best choice, whatever, an icon or tag must be visible in over the strip.

Then, have to change to MultiCamera Mode (it should be in the “combobox” with “Image Preview”, “Sequencer” , “Histogram”, etc). When you enter to MultiCam Mode the other strips get muted.

We are now ready to start editing the sequence! Press Play and by pressing the numbers of the channel in your Numpad you will be setting which strip will be the active! As simple of that!

Press Pause or Stop to finish your live editing.

I hope you understand and like the idea!!

Hi I've spent the past few months working with RPN interactive on an iPhone game, using Blender heavily in our pipeline for 3D assets and animations. All the 3D assets for the game and many animations for 2D elements were done with Blender, and other open source software (GIMP and Inkscape) were used for the [...]

The scene takes place in an ancient attic, full of scrapheap and dust.
In this setting a heroic robot will help a cuckoo bird to realize his dream: to be free.
In this picture, realized by Davide, you can see how the attic looks like and you can feel the mood of the story.

Create Magic Wand Particle Effects - part 3
Vimeo / Blender3D [Tutorial] - 2009-10-22 07:52:05

This 3-part video tutorial series will show you how to create a magic wand particles effect, the sort of visual effect you might see when a “magic wand” is waved. This will be similar to a “pixie” dust effect, although not so complicated. In Part 3, we’ll take a look at combining the sprite graphics with our particle system, and then tweaking things, including a little bit of post production, to achieve our final results.

Four stroke internal combustion engine
Vimeo / Blender3D [Animation/Videos] - 2009-10-22 07:28:04

An animation to illustrate the workings of a four stroke internal combustion engine. Grew out of the wish to show how to implement rather complex pydriver setups in Blender.

Took some time to get the sound right, but I am happy with it as it is now, especially because I finally managed to find the correct settings to actually produce a file that will show up as HD on Vimeo with audible sound.
