My first ever micro tutorial.
To have the grid of the rule of thirds, in your own cam in blender 3d Window.
1. Make a plain 2. Select the plane, shift select the cam (in object mode) press CTRL C and select rotation. This make the plain with the same orientation as the cam. 3. make it closer to the cam, and make it the same size as your cam view. 4.In edit mode select two parallel edges, press K then select "knife (multicut)" then 2 for the "number of cuts". 5. Do the same with the 2 other parallel edges. 6.Select all the faces of your plane and press X then "Only faces" to only have the edges. 7. In object mode select first the grid you created then the cam and press CTRL P to make the grid son of the cam (so if you move the cam the grid stays with it!) 8. Use it in your images composition and enjoy! (Dont worry, it wont appear in your renders)

Arrrgh!

I can't seem to get the link to this wonderful tutorial to work….
I hope it is still there and the blog is just a bit wonky. It was a terrific article.

thanks for posting it, and looking forward to getting at it again!

Hi.

I have also been having trouble getting the link to work, and also trough youhide.com

It sounds really interesting and educational, if you could host it somwhere else or something it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Anthony and Caleb.

It's pretty strange that you couldn't reach my website. I've been monitoring my website and it never went down since this post on BlenderNation. My web hosting service had tripled my bandwidth limit this month and – when I look at my access logs – there are minute-by-minute increase of the number of visitors.

Maybe, for testing, you could try to reach my site through a web proxy like http://www.youhide.com/

Cheers! =)

It sounds like a great idea. Thanks for sharing this, PP. We can't forget our traditional roots, can we?
