Clouds!

I was looking at the asset list of ‘Modeling Sprint for Durian’

(http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Org:Institute/Open_projects/Durian/Sprint/Assetlist)

and I realized that there were even multiple contributions for the same request, while the clouds entry was still empty.
Some time ago, while working on “progetto verde”, I made a survey about clouds that can be useful… so I registered on BlenderSwap and uploaded my file (you can download it from here).
I hope it’s not too late.

Considering this … maybe a scorpion can be useful too ? :) )

groch

Groch is one of the actors of the short movie of “progetto verde”
Is a alien large tortoise that the protagonist uses as a transport.
I was inspired to animals of some fantasy movie
mixing elements of   cyberpunk technology
the result seems convincing.

was the first thing that I modeled for the “progetto verde”
at this link you can follow the long gestation with all the steps, the errors and valuable tips of friends.
summarizing the important steps

www.Kino3d.com

First I quickly realized a sketch for the concept

schizzo3

Then I started modeling the main parties

tartaruga
Finally, I added the details and textures

verde tartaruga

Compared to concept in rendering the animal is larger and some elements of technology have been replaced but it seems that he capture the spirit.

Matte paint

I made this 3d matte paint for a scene of “progetto verde”. I think that it can not be used because far away from the style of short

compositor in sequencer

This video can be considered both a tutorial for a powerful use of the compositor in the sequencer
and a request to developers the blender 2.5
When you edit a video in the sequencer many times happen to need the compositor.
the normal procedure would be to upload the video in the compositor and render a new video to be imported into the sequencer.
But blender 2.49 has a much more interactive possibilities, why this possibility was taken off in ver 2.5 (at least until alpha1)?

The hut

prova realismo11

I built this hut to test the possibilities of realism of the internal engine of Blender in archeleogical virtual reconstruction.
Since this object will not be part of the final work (assuming you manage to complete) i’m pleased to release in creative commons license

Note: the object is released without the texture because some of these are not creative commons license

new features of grease pencil (surface stroke etc.) suggest me some alternative uses of this tool.
some really useful when modeling or animation (we’ll later) other fairly useless but very funny.
like this.

I could say that this technique facilitates the sketch 2D
(position in space of stroke, lights and shadows etc) but in reality it is just “artistic”.
maybe some of you will find a more productive use!

After seeing avatar
I absolutely had to give the third dimension to “progetto verde”
I know there is a way to do it in blender
but I preferred to export the image and the z buffer from Blender and use “bas-relief”

which gives many more editing possibilities.

Progetto Verde

capwide

Project to make a short film made with Blender.

A gym to experiment and learn by pushing Blender to the maximum.

The story is loosely based on a novel by Frederick Brown titled “Something green”
A man is shipwrecked on Kruger III, a red planet, his clothing is characterized by a  futuristic dirty and torn technology, mixed with leather and other natural elements. With him a beautiful native woman is on the planet.
Traveling through rough terrain and canyons on board of a giant turtle.

view conference 2

wow incredible experience!
I do not know how many people had the room, but it was full and there were people sitting on the floor!

I had prepared a presentation avoiding blender extremism,
something that was accessible even to those not using blender
the choice has proven successful

I intend to prepare a document of what was said during the workshop

congratulations to the organizers!
