New Training DVD: Venoms Lab!

Posted on by

The Blender Foundation has announced a new training DVD called ‘Venom’s Lab!’ by Yo Frankie! team member Pablo Vazquez.

From the website:

This DVD covers all aspects to create advanced computer graphics, including modeling, sculpting, shading, lighting, creating fur, cloth simulation, rendering and compositing. Its ten chapters are each devoted to exploring a specific technique. By using one of the famous VenomGFX characters you will be lead step by step through all important tools and settings.

I’ve always loved Pablo’s crazy and wild visual style and I can’t wait to get my hands on this one!

      Wow, I’ve always been very curious how to make so nice looking characters like venom do.

    • Nathan Braswell

      Is it going to be using an open source licence?

    • http://www.venomgfx.com.ar Pablo Vazquez

      Thank you very much! :D , I really appreciate it.

      @ Nathan: Of course! just like all the other Open Movie Workshops as Creature Factory, Mancandy FAQ, or Learning Character Animation, this will follow the same license.

      I’m releasing a bunch of my characters as Creative Commons, let’s see what people do with them! :)

      /me expects lotsa crazy animations!

      Great teaser!

      If only purchasing via money order or bank transfer from the Blender e-Shop was clearly feasible- I am opposed to online purchases and banking transactions for security reasons- I’d buy it up (and other goodies) right away! Does anyone know if this type of transaction is actually possible to do with the e-Shop?

      I suppose I could write an email to the Foundation directly with this in mind…

      Cheers!

      Fabulous Teaser!

      Can’t wait to put the dvd to my blender workshop dvds collection! I can’t wait to see the dvd and look over the shoulder of Pablo Vazquez.

      But for now, Great Job VENOM!

    • Nezumi

      How about shipping money? Is it included in price? To be precise – I am asking about shipping to Mexico.

    • Lucidor

      Nezumi, that info is available in the FAQ:

    • http://www.jorgerausch.com.ar Jorge Rausch

      Hehehehe.. Cool, Can you call the DVD ” How to make everything with falloff”? It´s Venom Fault!!!!! Good my friend! Are you GOD?

    • http://www.epanimation.com.ar Martín Eschoyez

      Cuánto buen gusto que tenés chabooooooooooooon!!!!

      (So much good taste that you have, duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!!!!)

    • bob2

      this is incredible news!

      what exactly is the “painting” section of the third chapter? gimp?

    • http://www.venomgfx.com.ar Pablo Vazquez

      thanks to all of you! I’m so glad about this reaction, gives me a lot of energy to keep on working on this.

      @bob2: The Painting section refers to Projection Painting, as pointed out in the teaser. Projection Painting is a new addition to Blender 2.49.

      Thanks to all once more, hope to not disappoint you!

    • invertedNormal

      gotta get it!!!

      thanks for the lessons. i’m really looking forward to the hair tutorial and material nodes tutorial… nodes scare me =/

    • http://www.cessen.com Nathan Vegdahl

      Amazing teaser. Go Pablo!

    • http://chainz.pip.verisignlabs.com/ Chainz

      Looks promising! Keep up the great work! :)

    • Gr8!

      Thats VERY interesting!

    • Bastian

      PLEASE INCLUDE A REAL ENGLISH TRANSLATION NOT JUST SUBTITLES!!!

    • http://www.jarred.co.za Jarrhead

      You’re my hero!!

    • grafixsuz

      Nice intro, I do agree! It made me smile from the very outset. It will be on my credit card bill at the end of the month!

    • maverick

      when will it be released?

    • Kirree

      Yeah, it’s difficult to follow what mentor is showing off if you have to read subtitles same time.
      Anyway, it looks really good! Nice to have high quality DVD’s for Blender :)

    • zapman

      Ordered!

      Great teaser, if I didn’t know the work of Pablo already the vid would have convinced me of getting a copy anyways!

      Thanks for the awesomeness! :)

    • marijn

      wow shit! i could spend all day just watching the promo over and over again!

    • Born

      Well, after having cleared up (rereading the FAQ, etc) that bank transfers are *definitely* acceptable in the e-Shop, I can now go on to supporting the wonderful Blender Foundation and acquiring some awesome material in the process!

      Really looking forward to this!

    • timmi

      YES YES YES …
      and with Blender 2.5 you can put it in a trashcan!!
      Thanks!!

    • http://www.venomgfx.com.ar Pablo Vazquez

      @ timmi, the topics covered on this DVD were chosen for being fully 2.5 compatible :), that’s why I’m skipping Rigging/Animation, because these are topics that really changed from 2.49 to 2.5x, the rest is going to be perfectly compatible.
      I thought about this way before starting thinking about the DVD :)

      that said, is 2.5 safe =)

      @ all: thanks a bunch! this is really motivating :D

    • VanPelt

      Congratulations Venom! What a talented guy!

    • banor

      Super AWESOME! :) Pablo, I knew you were involved with a DVD project, “Strawberry”, but seeing this – yes! Awesome know-how to help turn my creations from one level to a higher level – thanks so much! :D Bring it on, man! Oh, and your style is awesome, too – not my style preference, but since you create it so well it helps me to appreciate it. :D

    • Jeff

      Looks great. I remember your “Bounce Into Space” making of and that was helpful. If I remember correctly it just was set to music, so I don’t think the fact that the dvd is in another language would be a problem.

    • http://www.venomgfx.com.ar Pablo Vazquez

      @ Jeff: that’s a very nice compliment! :) I appreciate it.

    • kabhir

      Ordered!

      Excited and looking forward to take my blender skills to advanced level after learning out of it.

      Keep going Pablo great work!

    • http://www.venomgfx.com.ar Pablo Vazquez

      @ kabhir: thank you! I hope you enjoy it :D
