Ever wonderd why I made this blogg? Or wanna know some quick facts about me? this is the place then.












Why blender?

Why did I start using blender? Here u can read the background story wich all started it. ^^

Why this blogg?

Well why did this blogg come to life? It's kinda simpel, I recently started to learn blender a program wich lets me create 3d things. like games, animations or pictures. And I whanted to have some place to post my art works, and allso keep track of where I learnt difrent things. I started to notise that when I run into a problem I knew that it cood be fixed because I had learnt it some time ago, but I coodnt rember how to fix it ^^ so thats a main part of why I make this blogg :p

Btw this is me to the right over here -->
some information about me, I live with my lovely girlfirend in s small apartment (26.5 squer meters). And we recently helped a cat, he was suposed to be put down if no one took him in and well we cood'nt let that happen now cood we? ^^ I studie to become a civilengineering at University in Eskilstuna, Sweden. And thats some fast info about me.

So feel free to go and look at my picture gallery, or read the history of why I chose to start learning blender or maybe you will find some intrest in my documentation of my leaarning with blender.

Full char animation

One of the best tut I come across! a must if u wanna animate char's. You learn riging, asagning vertexes to bones. You learn walk cykels. You learn how to make the chars mouth move to sounds. This is great stuff. ^^

Early animations

First time I use shapekeys/hooks for a animation.



This animation have been recreated at a later time with a small twist (the head moves), Other then that this was one of the earliset I made:




So one of the first animations I made, I'm trying to make a fire, (havent cared about ground or lights yet)
.

Well I heres a link from youtube, if u whant a bigger window.

Chat

So I got a chat open here: http://www.skype.com/go/joinpublicchat?skypename=tobias_lindstrom_1986&topic=My%20blender%20progress%20chat&blob=SAgsSmLQ8mjbnhrfFZdVDLHmIncevrHHqPfIQqVPrIcMBFl1Auqzf5MPsKYV2u0rB4ZxpOaPK8Lbn9QYauw
(In there my name is Tobias Lindström)


you need to use a older version of skype (free) sins the newest version of skype does not suport group chat's (worst update ever from skype?). You can find skype here: http://isohunt.com/torrent_details/48392982/skype?tab=summary

I have uploaded the old skype client to rapidshare it can be dl 10 times, just give me a poke and I'll upload it again heres the link: http://rapidshare.com/files/195458519/Skype_3.8.0.144_Final.exe.html

Particle

Well first of all a short intro to particles. What is particles and what can one do with them? Well particles can be hair, fire, fireworks, starts shooting out and stuff alike. You can use them with a explode modifier for exampel so that the faces of what is beeing exploded will be ripped apart when a particel hit them.
















Exampel of areas where you might wanna use them, Game when lvling up. Campfires. Explostions. smoke. Dust. Underwater sence etc...


If you whant a bigger understanding of particles you should visit this site: http://www.blender.org/development/release-logs/blender-246/particles/particle-system-and-types/
and if you whant to know more on how to use them go here: http://www.blender.org/development/release-logs/blender-246/particles/ These 2 was realy usefull for me.

This link gives some basic knowledg of particles and have tut's, They are rather old though so they arn't up to date. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro/Particle_Systems but with a bit of sense you can make the same thigns as they ask for in the tut's.

And this link is for a place where they creat cool stuff with particels: http://download.blender.org/documentation/NaN_docs/Manual2.0/Particles.html It's abit out of date allso but you can manage to make the same stuff with some list ^^
