Learn about all of the different settings you can use for objects with the fluid system including obstacle, inflow, and outflow.

Using soft bodies and a wind force you can take a lowly plane with a very simple texture and make it look like a realistically billowing flag.

Learn about the techniques that I use in order to create this Chevy Camaro. The techniques shown can be applied to many other cars, vehicles, and other models. This tutorial is very detailed, reaching a length of 7 pages. There is also a PDF available, in case you wish to work offline.

This 3-part video tutorial series will show you how to create a magic wand particles effect, the sort of visual effect you might see when a “magic wand” is waved. This will be similar to a “pixie” dust effect, although not so complicated. In Part 2, we’ll take a look at how to create the particle system that will be used with the sprite graphics created in Part 1.

A tutorial focussing on producing a large, detailed reconstruction of the ship HMS Victory. Covers modelling the hull, rigging and other parts, texturing, and compositing the final images.

This tutorial shows how to adjust the Hue, Saturation and Value of an image using the HSV and RGB Curves compositing nodes to improve a photo – make it bolder, or even make it look like it was shot at a different time of the day.

Here is a great tutorial on how to do camera tracking in Blender, using the Voodoo camera tracker. The Voodoo software can estimates camera parameters, like position and rotation and reconstructs a 3d scene from image sequences.

At the tutorial, a virtual object is placed in real footage. All credits for the tutorial goes for Sympodius, from the BlenderArtists forums.
