Updates from blendtuts!

 
 

Hi everybody!! I'm writing this post for letting you know some news about how everything is going theese days :D

1. I'm on "hollidays" (working at home xD). This means that I haven't a cool computer, just a little laptop, so no tutorials till I go back to Valencia (I'm on Galicia / Spain atm). It's not a great problem as I'll get back in a week, more or less :) So! What I'm doing is continuing the recording of the hologram's project voice over. When I'm back I'll make an update video to showing you all how it's going :D
Also, I'll put that same update video for download in the final format in which I'll be releasing the full tutorial. I made a few tests, and I already know how .mkv works, so I can produce dual audio videos (to have them with english/spanish audio). Only a few chapters are still without voice over, and then I'll remake the compositing part, because blender developers have solved a few bugs, so we don't need the workarounds I did on the original one. And also this way I'll comment it while doing it, as I think that is the most important and complex part of the tutorial :)

2. I'm testing the BSurfaces addon, which was released this week! I had the luck to receibe a copy to make a review and tutorial... so they will come soon!! For now... all that I can say, is that I find it very useful, overall for retopo works!! You can check it's features, buy it, and donate for it right HERE.

3. I have already planned some of the videos that are coming!! This is the list:
    - How to paint textures in blender (Tutorial)
    - Timelapse unwrapping a full lowpoly character (just in case you want to watch it, and see the practical side of the unwrapping tuts)
    - Timelapse painting all the textures for that character (so you can see the practical side of the painting textures tutorial)
    - How to pose without a rig (A long time ago I saw a video... I think it was a Modo demo or somthing like that, and some time ago I realized how to do it, so in case you find it interesting for showing your models without having to use rigs :)

The character that I'm going to use for this tutorial and timelapses, was an original idea from my friend Carles Tenorio Quintana (His Blog, His Portfolio). I saw a model he made, and I asked him for make some little adjustments for using it for the tutorials :) Here you have a quick painting I did using his model as my inspiration:

Special Soldier

4. And a last thing... I'm now on the Google+ Social Network, and very soon, I'll put the G+ logo at the bottom of the web for those who want to follow me there :) If you want to follow me right now... here you have my profile LINK !!

See you there... or see you on the next videos, post, tutorials... whatever!! ;D

Gracias, Victor! :D Pues si estás por valencia... ya organizaré alguna quedada de tresdeseros por allí para que te vengas, que hay más valencianos por aquí :)

Perfecto! :D Yo me apunto a esa quedada ;)
Un saludo y nos vemos crack!! :)

I would really like to see a tutorial on how to actually animate things. I've seen your other tutorials and they are fantastic but i don't know how to make stuff move etc. this would be a great help for my IST assignment. :D
Definitely looking forward to seeing a tutorial and review of B-Surfaces at http://www.blendtuts.com/node/151. I wonder if it can model a wide range of types of models or whether it is limited in what it can accomplish because of its method?
Oliver, About the posing of models without rigs: In modo they refer to the method as morph maps. Looking forward to seeing your methods for this in Blender. Cheers, D
