Painting Instanced Objects

image2Another quality tutorial from CGCookie, this one is by Kernon Dillon and its about using some neat techniques in Blender to ‘paint’ objects into a scene.

The brief description is as follows:

This tutorial teaches how to use Blender’s particles system to “paint” instanced objects onto mesh surfaces. Similar to Maya’s “Paint Effects”, though not nearly as powerful, it’s a very nice way to fill a scene with flowers, vegetation, rocks, pebbles, gravel, debris, etc

You can watch the tutorial here:

    That was absolutely amazing! I had no idea that could be done.

    Just goes to show, no matter how well you think you know the tools, someone will always have thought of another way to use them. Genius.

    Wow! I didn’t know blender let you do this. It’s the feature I always wanted but never knew existed.

    But whilst I like the content this tutorial offers… 1 hour is waaay too long. :S

    Thanks for the tutuorial. I had just finished a project this weekend where this would have come in handy. Now I’m going back to see how it would have turned out if I had used this method. :)
