Blender Cycles render.

Had some fun with the rigid body tools.
Some connections and a randomly scaling sphere inside.

I hope you like it!

Little changes

Hello world!

How have you been?

Done in Blender!
Whoever knows something about switzerland at the moment will understand this video.

If you are interested in how to do the flickering effect, keep on reading.

All i did was to use a glow node in my final compositing.
i changed the values as needed and entered a keyfame for the mix value at frame one.

 

 

 

 

 

Then i went to the graph editor and selected the keyframe

 

Press the N key and scroll down to add a noise modifier
i used this settings…

 

 

 

 

 

 

Very easy but effective!

Dynamic Paint for Holographic Wireframes

Hello folks,

so i had this idea to create some kind of shield effect.
if something gets hit you will see a holographic wireframe.

So here is the first Animation test i did!

You should watch it in Full HD to see the effect around the earth.

this was just a proof of concept to me.

Next step would be to add some distortion and waves to the wireframe

Well i hope you like it

The Tree

Hi there,

it has been a long time now but finally i have some time to share some new work by me.
i have been working on commercial projects wich took a long time and i am not allowed to share the work i have done there.
Most of it was Landscape and vegetation for Cycles rendering.

after spending too much time in front of my computer i decided to try something different.

so here is my tree modeled in Fimo and rendered by photons hitting my Gopro 😀

Also here is a speed modeling breakdown of how it was done.

Timelapse Day and Night Animation renderd in Cycles

Hi there,

i started Working on Procedual Terrain for Cycles
as well as a Sky texture Node Setup that has Clouds and Stars
the Animation will be driven by the rotation of the Sun.

i renderd a quick test animation to see if everything is working so far.
so check it out here

Now i will refine some values and set it all up so you can easily use the nodetree in your project

All the best

Growkit Tutorial

Hello world,

Here is a Quick tutorial on how to set up a particle system for Sapling trees

You will need my Leaf Collection for this
//DOWNLOAD HERE//

the Result

I know it’s not much but you will understand the basics so you can do it on your own tree designs.

I also made a cheat sheet
with the most important settings and stuff you can play around with (wich is not mentioned in the Video)

Ocean modifier, dynamic paint and softbody dynamics

Hi folks,
i present to you
a little project i did recently
all done in Blender 2.66
the ship is a stylized version of the Nao Viktoria
wich was by the way the first ship to go around the world!

the sound is not the best but i had to use royalty free samples for it.
if you look at the ropes you can see they also have simulation going on.
i hope you like it so please write comments
and share.

all the best
