Modeling a Porsche 911 GT3 RS - part 01

In this multi-part tutorial we are going to be taking a close look at how to model a Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Due to the nature of the car the tutorial encompasses a lot of techniques from both organic modeling and hard-body modeling styles. A particular emphasis is placed on creating good topology that will enable you to easily modify the shape but also to accurately create the details. Part 01 of the this tutorial details how to create the base of the front end.

default image for post Box Modeling an Alien Character in Blender 2.5 alpha 0

In this tutorial, I show you a few basics of Blender 2.5, and cover how to use the box-modeling technique to create a full character. The box-modeling technique is a good way to quickly visualize the shape of your character, rather than a creating the detail from the beginning.

Path Finding with the Blender Game Engine

This is different from what I had planned for part 3, but I think it will make the actual ai implementation easier in the end. This part will be going over generating path data from a mesh. I will have the next part setting up and explaining the A* algorithm up in a few days. I made this separate since I don't think most people who use the game engine are familiar with accessing mesh data. Basically, the vertexes will be the nodes and the edges will define valid paths

Making Tank Treads in Blender

Hey guys, this is a tutorial for how to model and animate a tank track. I will be using Blender 2.50 Alpha 0 so I will point out some changes made from the previous version. I recommend intermediate blender knowledge for this tutorial. There are 3 steps in this tutorial. - Make First Track Segment - Transform That Into a Full Track - Learn How to Animate it Let's get started!

Basics of Text Objects

I wrote this tutorial, because I couldn't find any really good text tutorials and searching for "text" brought up a lot of texturing hits. It goes of the basics of using the text object.

Cloth Simulations in Blender

Making simple cloth simulations. Cloth simulation is one of the hardest aspects of CG, because it is a deceptively simple real-world item that is taken for granted, yet actually has very complex internal and environmental interactions. After years of development, Blender has a very robust cloth simulator that is used to make clothing, flags, banners, and so on. Cloth interacts with and is affected by other moving objects, the wind and other forces, as well as a general aerodynamic model, all of which is under your control. A piece of cloth is any mesh, open or enclosed, that has been designated as cloth. The Clothpanels are located in the Physicssub-context and consist of three panels of options. Cloth is either an open or closed mesh and is mass-less, in that all cloth is assumed to have the same density, or mass per square unit. Cloth is commonly modeled as a mesh grid primitive, or a cube, but can also be, for example, a teddy bear. However, Blender’s Softbody system provides better simulation of closed meshes; Cloth is a specialized simulation of fabrics. Cloth is a modifier in the object’s modifier stack, so it can interact with other modifiers, such as Armatureand Smooth. In these cases, the ultimate shape of the mesh is computed in accordance with the order of the modifier stack. For example, you should smooth the cloth after the modifier computes the shape of the cloth.

Learn how to Model of a Steampunk Spacecraft using Blender 3D

In this chapter you will learn all about modeling an Incredible Machine named Steampunk Spacecraft. Steampunk Spacecraft describes what steampunk is and what the characteristics of a steampunk machine are. It initializes the creation of a steampunk spacecraft with even smaller details and more UV Mapping techniques to add more realism to the model. It creates a base mesh for the spacecraft and also gives us an experience in edge modeling, deforming, and adjusting the shape of a model to get the shape of the desired object. You could also download this chapter in the PDF format by visiting our weblink

Creating a Pup Tent part 2

This is the last part in the Pup Tent tutorial. In this part, we’ll be applying procedural textures for the different aspects of the tent, and then we’ll use a paint application to extract a background image for our scene. Back in Blender, we’ll create a ground area and also use Blender’s particles system to create grass. Finally, we’ll create render layers and use Blender’s compositing nodes to color correct things before doing a final render.

Tip: Using the snapping tool

The snapping tool in Blender allows you to snap your mesh selection to any other vertice, edge, face, or volume. This is a very handy technique for precision modeling.
