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

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
greetings Kai Cent

Leaf_Collection

i did this for the Growkit project wich wont be released as a Script.
i found a way to use the existing particle system to grow leafs on trees, bushes or the ground.

wich is basicly what these UV mapped planes are made for.

-UV Mapped.

-Subdivided for basic curved shape.

-Pivot point set to the root.

-Packed color textures and normal maps.

-Basic cycles material setup.

You can use them for trees bushes or plants.

If you append the objekts they will be on the last layer.

a tutorial on how to use them properly will be uploaded soon.

but for now i will leave you with a download link
///DOWNLOAD HERE///

i did try to upload it to Blendswap
but after a many failed attemps i switched to mega.

Have Fun
over and out
