Vimeo / Blender3D [Animation/Videos] - 2009-12-18 22:53:23

This is a reel that I've put together showing my recent Blender works for the upcoming Che! Blender (www.cheblender.org).
These works were done using Blender mostly (even though a couple of old shots have some composition work done in After Effects).

Vimeo / Blender3D [Animation/Videos] - 2009-12-18 22:51:18

TV ad for La Editorial for the Christmas 2009 campaign.
Made with Blender, Inkscape and GIMP on Ubuntu Linux.
As usual, I used the awesome XCF Layers Suite script by Alejandro Omar Chocano Vasquez to import the XCF compositions into blender in one step.

Thanks to malefico and cesio for the rigging tips!

• new method to do camera projection in blender 2.5
  till now there are two ways to do camera projection in blender: Sticky textures and UV Projection modifier. Both work well but the way to use those in a bit confusing. Now you can simply press U when you are viewing form your camera and click on the "Projecto from view" option, and blender will generate a map from what are you viewing with your cam

Go Roadmap, App Engine support for Go!
goplexian.com - 2009-12-18 05:48:00

The Go Roadmap was uploaded yesterday, looks awesome!

They have included support for NaCL and App Engine.

Edit: I originally copied the Roadmap to my post, but since things are moving so fast a static copy of the Roadmap is unlikely to stay accurate for long so I've removed it.

Now you can simply press U when you are viewing form your camera and click on the “Projecto from view” option, and blender will generate a map from what are you viewing with your camera, so no more than that!. Then just place a texture and set the coordinates as UV.
