"Surprise Box" - Modelling Timelapse

29/05/2011

Hi there!!

I've been pretty busy, and I couldn't record the second part of the Spider Web tutorial yet, because of some difficulties caused for a little bug (Maybe not a bug... because it doesn't happen always... but I don't know why, mesh deform doesn't work sometimes on the web, I'm investigating it, because other times it work perfectly doing exactly the same! :S). So I thought that should be cool publishing this little timelapse of a project I did two weeks ago :)

24371061

It's just the modelling and UV's part, because it was rendered on Thea Render, and I didn't record that part cause it's just adding materials, textures and final render :D I know I know... I could just render this on blender, cause it isn't a very complicated render... but I have a Thea Render license for some works, and from time to time, I just like to render something with it :)

And yes! A part is missing xD I forgot to model the nose and hut's star while recording... and I forgot to record it later while modelling, I'm a disaster, huh? xD

I hope you enjoy it, and I'll try to bring the second part of the spider web creation tutorial very soon! :D See you, guys!!

very good man! what renderer did you use?
Submitted by oliver villar on Mon, 30/05/2011 - 14:55

I used Thea Render, it's on the description ;)

Submitted by David on Tue, 31/05/2011 - 19:58
I looked for the Thea Render but i not able to install the plugin for blender. Could you help me?
Submitted by oliver villar on Tue, 31/05/2011 - 21:11

Sorry, but it's pretty difficult, and it depends on your system specs or OS, so please, ask in the Thea Render forums, you'll get better help there ;) Also, I normally work exporting .objs from blender to thea, I'm not used to the exporter ;) Good luck!

second part of the video with the textures, lighting and rendering :D thx
Submitted by Ben on Fri, 03/06/2011 - 05:45
Awesome! I love your work! Where do you get your textures?
Submitted by oliver villar on Fri, 03/06/2011 - 12:25

Thanks, Ben :) Usually, I use photos of my own. From time to time, I like to make photos for possible use as textures, and over the last years, I built a "little" gallery :) Otherwise, when I need something specific that I don't have... I use www.cgtextures.com, wich is a GREAT resource for getting textures :)

Hope it helps!

I didn't recondnize the way u uv-unwraped it, could you do a tutorial on how you did that? or even the intire project, for it holds some very handy tricks that might be new to a lot of recently started users.
Submitted by oliver villar on Tue, 07/06/2011 - 01:35

The entire project could be a quite big tutorial, maybe in the future :) About the unwrapping... well, I did it exactly following the same principles that I explained on the uvs & textures tutorials :D

I used a checker texture for previewing deformations on the uvs and all that, and preventing stretching on the projected textures :)

Wow! Great timelapse! How many time did it took to complete this (like in real human time) ? I'm wondering also, did you rig the cap of the box ?
Submitted by oliver villar on Sun, 12/06/2011 - 19:07

Hi, he667! It took about 3 hours, including the texturing and rendering (not the rendertime, it took the whole night heheh). And about the cap of the box... I just parented it to the box itself, so if I wanted to move the box, the cap followed it... and I put the pivot point on the rotating border, so it rotated from where it was supposed to :)

Thanks for your comment! ;)

Simply amazing. Every blender user should aspire to do such impressive work.
