    Neat, I would've used the same technique. Not sure if I'd figured it out that well though. Thanks :)

    I dont have those Auto/Vector/Align/Free buttons in my Transform Properties windows. Is he using a new version of Blender or so? :|

    VERY NICE! I wonder if thats how they did it in Elephants Dream?

    Very nice and useful tutorial! Especially for animation beginners.

    Great tutorial but I get lost and I don't understand what's going on from 2:00 until the end. Can someone explain please.

    Both are really nice tutorials. I liked the one on curves but will have to watch it a few more times as it was too quick for me to follow. The one on backgrounds was also nicely done and very useful. Thanks to both of you.

  9. 9 Volant Edit Link Mar 23rd, 2008 at 4:01 pm

    Heh, I always wondered how I could do this. Now I know. Thank you. :)

    @Shadox:
    The buttons are there in Blender 2.46 RC1

  10. 10 Byron Kindig Edit Link Mar 23rd, 2008 at 4:08 pm

    Shadox, I don't have those buttons either. (?) I don't know if it is a newer version or what.

  11. 11 Byron Kindig Edit Link Mar 23rd, 2008 at 4:11 pm

    Thanks,Volant!

  12. 12 ShadoX Edit Link Mar 23rd, 2008 at 5:25 pm

    Ok, thanks Volant. But isnt that a test build or so? :|

  13. 13 Virgilio Vasconcelos Edit Link Mar 23rd, 2008 at 5:38 pm

    @Shadox: Yes, this is not the stable version of Blender. The buttons are not available on the current stable version (2.45), but you can achieve the same result if you press "V" instead. =)

    I got lost during the editing of the taper object at 2:20 in the video.
    I think its a cool video, but youtube isn't really good for this.

    The second tutorial is much better, higher res.
    thanks

  15. 15 Blaine Edit Link Mar 23rd, 2008 at 7:20 pm

    Excellent! Ever since I moved from Max to Blender I've longed for the Loft object that Max had… This made my day!

  16. 16 Kubeczek77 Edit Link Mar 23rd, 2008 at 7:23 pm

    Very nice ! Thanks :)

  17. 17 Sagawee Edit Link Mar 23rd, 2008 at 8:26 pm

    @Dusty: Yes.
    When Elephants Dream came out, Matt Ebb replied to a question I had about that. Check comment 37 and 41 at
    http://orange.blender.org/blog/elephants-dream-released/

    His simplified example file is still online, if you want to check out:

    this is quite cool when you also animate the cross section profile.

    claas

  19. 19 ccherrett Edit Link Mar 23rd, 2008 at 11:39 pm

    hmm I get it so the curve grows but I can't seem to get the curve to be fully disappeared when shrunk. any thoughts?

  20. 20 elite2864 Edit Link Mar 24th, 2008 at 1:52 am

    The second one is worth it!

    But the first one is youtube-stuff! Buuuh!!
    (hey, a brand new technique!! Never known before!! -> I mean it ironically!)

  21. 21 Aleksander Edit Link Mar 24th, 2008 at 2:18 am

    Behave!

  22. 22 Kernon Edit Link Mar 24th, 2008 at 2:50 am

    Hey, thanks for noting my quick little rendering tutorial! I'm happy if it helps anyone.

  23. 23 Andrew Edit Link Mar 24th, 2008 at 4:37 am

    I found the second one most helpfull, especially about amb occ and the shadows.

  24. 24 Guzman Edit Link Mar 24th, 2008 at 11:11 am

    Hi,

    Very cool tutorials!!

    I noticed an animated effect whenever the viewport was changed from camera to top, or top to left view…
    Is that visual effect something new at blender? How can I do the same with my Blender

    Thanks in advance,
    Guz

  25. 25 Dread Knight Edit Link Mar 24th, 2008 at 4:25 pm

    @Guzman: nothing so new…
    just go to settings/View & Controls/Smooth View and set a value for it.

    —-
    Anyway, the "showcase tutorial" is a bit disappointing for me because it's not using an official version xD

  26. 26 Kernon Edit Link Mar 24th, 2008 at 8:23 pm

    I used Blender 2.46 RC1 for the showcase tutorial. The only "new" feature used in the tutorial is the AAO. That feature is used in the Peach movie so it's pretty official.

  27. 27 Chris Stones Edit Link Mar 25th, 2008 at 6:45 am

    Well, then I can't believe I did almost the exact same thing for a render show case. I guess it won't be displayed on BlenderNation then. :(

  28. 28 Gingerman the Bread Edit Link Mar 25th, 2008 at 8:28 pm

    Amazing! Absolutely Genius! I don't know if you created this method, but I will certainly add this to my favs.

  29. 29 Gingerman the Bread Edit Link Mar 25th, 2008 at 8:29 pm

    Couldn't you also animate other things with this method? just wondering…
