This is the last part in the Pup Tent tutorial. In this part, we’ll be applying procedural textures for the different aspects of the tent, and then we’ll use a paint application to extract a background image for our scene. Back in Blender, we’ll create a ground area and also use Blender’s particles system to create grass. Finally, we’ll create render layers and use Blender’s compositing nodes to color correct things before doing a final render.

This tutorials covers how to create a more advanced type of facial rig, showing you how to use the “stretch to” constraint to give the face a more fluid way of animating. The “stretch to” is great for things like lips and eyelids (which is shown in this tutorial); in addition, I show you how to make the eyelids “stick” to the eyeball surface, so there’s no unwanted gap between the two while animating.

The snapping tool in Blender allows you to snap your mesh selection to any other vertice, edge, face, or volume. This is a very handy technique for precision modeling.
