Blender Tutorials Downloads Videos & Education - Blender Cookie - 2010-02-16 17:52:26

This quick Blender 2.5 video tip demonstrates how to use viewport snapping to lock the viewing angle to any 45 degree increment. This feature is similar to the viewport navigation that is found in ZBrush.

Details can be found on the Durian blog.

Contest - Eco Design
4RTE DIGIT4L - 2010-02-16 15:50:00

Eae Pessoal!!

Finalmente, terminei a minha imagem para o Contest Eco-Design organizado pelo site Blender Brasil! Que tinha como objetivo criar uma imagem estática referente ao tema "Eco Design", que retrate um problema ecológico local, regional, nacional ou mundial.

Foi um mês inteiro para modelar todos os objetos da cena, e mais de 9 gigas ocupados no HD! E a renderização ficou por conta do LuxRender, que durou cerca de 10 horas!

Espero que gostem!

Community Modeling Sprint!
Durian - 2010-02-16 15:10:37

Hello Blender Community!

Are you a Blender user with some modeling chops? Do you have dreams of fame and fortune? Have you been watching Durian from the sidelines wishing you could be more involved? And have you been frustrated that we haven’t given you the opportunity?

WEELLL, Nathan’s here to announce an upcoming event that you won’t want to miss!

We’ll also be sporting a live video feed from the Blender Institute!

In looking over potential blender model sites to use for this it was pretty difficult to chose. There are a few really great options! The Blender Model Repository is a great resource, and certainly has the fullest library of models. What sites do you guys use the most?

To recap:

When: Saturday, February 20th, at 2:00pm GMT+1 (Amsterdam) 1:00pm GMT
Where: At your computer
Why: For eternal glory!

Join the #blenderdurian channel on the FreeNode IRC network. (Refer to Getting Started in Blender IRC if you’re not familiar with irc.)

Visit http://www.blendswap.com/ and register an account to be able to submit. Thanks to mofx for helping us out!

And wait a couple days for us to post the list of models! Thanks to cwebb (not Samuel L. Jackson, actually) for the inspiration.

Later!

–Colin

Olympic Games!
Montage Studio - 2010-02-16 12:27:10

Hey guys, Js here.

I’m in Amsterdam right now, working on the Durian project titled ‘Sintel’. You can of course follow our progress on the short movie here: http://durian.blender.org The movie is progressing well in the last few weeks. Some big news are going to be annonced on the blog over there this week. So make sure you give it a look everyday!

On other news, Olympic Games started in my home country Canada. I hope everyone is having a good time following their country progress there What does olympic have to do with this blog you ask? Well, Olympic games are associated with alot of people watching it, so obviously company take the opportunity to create ads for them! At the studio where I work in Montreal ( www.deshed.com ), we created a serie of ads for the company Rona who sponsored the Olympic in Vancouver by providing construction materials and worker to build the different venues.

You can view the ads at this website: www.2010vancouver.rona.ca

The studio did the first one that plays when the website open (codenamed ‘Rona Tape’) and as for myself, I mostly worked on the two ads in the ‘Venues’ section of the website.  I hope you’ll enjoy them

Have a nice Olympic games time!

Js.
