Blender-tutorial is available in Italian but has more than 20 video tutorial made using the blender in English and without sound, are therefore understand by all users of blender. I had already responded saying that not insert the news because the language is Italian, but I see that often put article about other nations and then as I said before the video tutorials are with the programme in English and without audio. In blender tutorial is also a rich collection of textures in high resolution, even these easily usable by all. Check yourselves, I leave you the link.

Videotutorial series: ‘Inside Blender’

The newest Blender tutorial is posted and I would like to start getting feedback from the Blender community as far as the quality is concerned. In the future we will be focusing on Blender as it would be incorporated into a working pipeline for small studios.

They are available now at http://www.howcast.com/users/Allan01

Here are two jingles i made for the WebTV demoscene.tv, a website dedicated to
Demoscene created with friends and I years ago. There are entirely made with open source softwares :

  • Modeling, Animation, fluids, particles, rendering, compositing and editing made with Blender
  • Texture and vector graphics made with Gimp and Inkscape
  • Audio tweaking made with Audacity:

Jingle made for the Assembly 2008 Demoparty [WMV file]
Jingle made for the NVScene 2008 Demoparty [WMF file]

“Snapshot report” is a very quick report about each activity of the party, made by the team during the party and put online on the www.demoscene.tv website.

Hi I’ve recently been working on a few tutorials for the blender community. They are videos and so are easier for some people to follow then traditional text tutorials. They can be found on youtube under my user name hamsterhill.

      Thanks Bart for posting about INSCAPE! ;) Maybe I will write an actual article next time.

    • banor

      don’t care for the edge style in the Freestyle walkcycle vid, but it’s neat to see an update anyway! Thnx!

    • thinkinmonkey

      Thanks for the links.

      Just a question: but is INSCAPE free as Blender ?
      I have found no information, but it seems really funny and I’d like to give it a look, but only if it’s free.
      Thanks in advance.

      Great idea those rapid fire sessions Bart.
      Blender is bound for quite a surge in development and recognition in the few next years. I wonder how we will all be able to keep with the news that will be coming out of the Community at large.
      You’ll need Ireporters like CNN LOL

      Thanks a lot Bart to publish links to my jingles !
      This Rapid Fire sessions is a really great idea, giving a chance for our news proposals to be published quickly. Thanks again for that … so, i’m going to post another one in 5 minutes. ;o)

      keep it up.

      @thinkinmonkey: yes, inkscape is free software (GPL)

      Hi Bart,
      When I click on the link for “The modest model repository from mexico”, it takes me to the demoscene tv page.
      Have a nice day,
      -Brian

      billy: there’s a difference between INSCAPE and Inkscape.

    • kinduun

      Thanks.

      For all users. Go to http://translate.google.com and enter http://www.blender-tutorial.com,
      and translate the page from italian to english: now you can read the page in english.

      You can do this for all other foreign blender pages.

      Let me go back to saving the world.
      Peace.

      @thinkinmonkey: I believe you can sign up to the INSCAPE open source community and there try a beta version (perhaps to help them bug test?)

      @banor: I know it is. I use it all the time :)

      So, another Spanish Blender channel … there’s already #blender-es (which I occasionally visit, being an operator and all), and #blenderadictos3d. Neither of which has ever had a significant amount of users. I hope this one will work out.

    • paul

      From what can be read on their site, there is nothing “open” about the INSCAPE open community >_< it’s just a different name for a public beta test -_-’

    • http://home.deds.nl/~mp/ ysvry

      well inscape is to be used with the beta version of bender then. :P

    • banor

      @Omar Modesto: Good! ;D
      @paul: yeah, I know what you mean. It does look like a commercial product. I’m not completely positive what’s happening – it seems to be a beta test, but also mentions joining the open source community. Oh well. ;)

      Thnx!

      Thanks to all for your answers

      @billy: Yeap, I know Inkscape is free… I’m using it, of course !:D
      @banor: I’ve read that, but I wasn’t sure Inscape is free because it’s written only about beta version ! So, you’re right, also for me it looks a commercial product and it’s strange to think of it now that I’m using Blender: it does funny and wonderful things, but it’s free ! Now, when I look a program, I think no more: if it does great things, surely it wiil cost !
      @paul: yeap, you’re right… using the terms “OPEN community” has been a trap for me !!!
      @ysvry: ahahahahahahahahaha !!!!
