Hey all!

A special day indeed. A new game engine tutorial:

As you know, I did a QBT version of this earlier this week, but this is much more in depth than that one. I replaced that one with this tutorial on the game engine page. The scene is of course not included, because this tutorial is about a method, not modeling, or texturing or whatever.

This short 10 page tutorial, cover to cover, is here to tell you how to figure out how to add particles for your particular situation.

I just kno...

Hey all!

Today I believe GOD wants me to share a render and creative error on my part. I didn't ask for GOD's input on this and this is what happens when we don't, hahaha!

Back-story. As you all know, I am working on matching images for the sonnets from the 4 seasons. This one, is for the first sonnet of Winter. While quite a challenge to make a scene like this work, I thoroughly felt the challenge and wanted to through a tantrum. I wanted to add snow to the scene in the form of halo's. I belie...

Hey all!

Didn't get any requests for this one, but I believe HE wants it shared. So, here it is. I had to modify it a bit, because the single mountain landscape, just didn't cut it. I added a few more and some mist as well as a few other things, but I really wanted to add as much photographic qualities as I possibly could to just give it that bit of a boost, including a vignette (it is that bright spot in the middle of most photos). Because this is a very bright scene, the appearance thereof w...

Hey all!

Very excited about sharing this particular image. While working on the first part of the book, HE showed me how to add snow, using only the Blend texture. And that is also a tutorial in the first section.

Anyway, on Cycles it is now called the Gradient texture and I wondered if it would still respond similarly or possibly even better. While I wouldn't necessarily call it better, I definitely like the almost stylistic cartoony background approach to how this looks.

Hope you like it too:

What a day's work!! JESUS really showed up for the mountain snow tutorial to say the least! And here's why:
I posted an image a while back, showing you guys that you can add snow to a mountain using the Blend procedural texture. That was this picture:

Here's another little something I'm including in the book (calling it that, since it covers all the educational terms that can be used in relation to the project).

And yes, all created with procedural textures and Blender features. The mountain was generated using the Landscape add-on. The mountain's snow was done using only procedural textures. Wanna know how? Wait for the book (^^,)
