Blender cookie

released another wonderful couple of tutorials this week, the first being on using the 'edge split' modifier to aid in the smoothing process. I know it's only been a week but I've used this modifier in every model I've made since the tutorial released, very handy tip.

This is a great webinar that explains in perfect terms the principals of spacing and timing in animation as well as going into how it can be used to show emotion and how it should be included in a scene.



The first two parts are especially good with the 3rd and 4th lacking the same clarity. I'd recommend anyone interested in animation take a look at parts 1 and 2 at least, whether you are an expert brushing up their fundamental knowledge or a novice learning about timing and spacing for the first time.

Even if you aren't an animator but are just interested, listen to the words of these two pixar experts to get a glimpse of just one component of the world of animation.

Firstly I should point out that this is the first ever post on bambzie, fingers crossed for a long and successful life!

Ok, setting your avatar is simple, but it isn't done on bambzie.net.



Gravatar is a website that enables you to set one avatar that will show up across many websites. Any website that uses wordpress or blogger will be able to see your avatar as well as bambzie.net and any other site that uses gravatars.

It is linked to your email address, so make sure you use the same email address on gravatar as you did to register on bambzie.net.
