LGM talk about Remake
Morevna Project - 2012-06-19 13:19:27

Finally I’ve got the video with my talk about Remake at LGM! Unfortunately the screen wasn’t recorded, so initially there was only my talking head there.

Venom’s Lab! Mini #01, Mixed Mesh Select Modes
Blog - PabloVazquez.org - 2012-06-19 09:31:45

I’ve hardly seen any Python related tutorials for Blender, and since its whole interface is defined in Python, I think as an artist this something we should all know a little bit about, or at least try. After all, is pretty easy to change the software we love the most ♥

Since is not part of an actual DVD, today I start a series of quick & 1-thing-focused tutorials, I’m calling it “Venom’s Lab! Mini”.
