Use Blender 2.52 alpha to build a round brick wall

My first video tutorial in AGES (and only my second one ever from what I can recall). In this tutorial, I show how to build a circular brick wall using only one brick and three array modifiers. All done with an alpha version of Blender 2.52. You can download the latest build of Blender from [...]

The Worm That Turned (Out Quite Well)

More fun with Blender! I’ve made a worm. It was in response (as so many of my little projects are) to a question over on the Blender Underground Forums.
It took me about an hour to model this little chap and a couple of hours to sort out the funky little animation. Hope you all like [...]

Danté the Ant progress report

Things are going great with Danté. I’ve still got to rig his arms/hands and do a decent face rig. And some small repairs. But he’s looking good:

Having not done much with the Blender fluid simulator in an awful long time, and out of curiosity which had been raised by a question, I’ve done this little animation.
Made in Blender 2.49b.

Trying out Suicidator City Generator script in Blender

Just recently discovered this script that generates, very easily I might add, whole cities. Big, little, detailed, simple. Very configurable. I gave it a quick go and decided to go for a drive through it. The script can be found at this website.

Step One

In Step One, I’ve modelled the whole face but still need [...]

A face, textured, animated, hairy.

Made entirely with Blender. The skin has SSS. The hair is partical hair. The eyes have refraction through the cornea. Everything could be better but I like it.

Changing faces

Over the years I have tried, on occasion, to model a realistic face. I’ve had varying degrees of success leading up to this, my first decent face model. All the loops are right. All the proportions are right. Well, as far as I can tell, they’re right.
This is what it looks like:

Building a teacup ain’t so easy

I love using Blender but every so often I do manage to find something I can’t do with it. That doesn’t necessarily mean it can’t do it. It simply means I can’t figure out how.

Amazing 3D car animation made by one man

I’m sure it’s quite well known that I’m an avid fan of Blender. However, this does not lead me to ignore the quality produced from other 3D softwares. Especially when it involves incredible talent and great entertainment.
A man going by the name of Pantural on YouTube has created this animation of car models which, to [...]
