Blender3d (Version 2.68 - ) :

Blender 2.68: Usability

User Interface

* Display menu items key shortcuts in the button tooltips. (r57172).
* Drag-Toggle now allows all layers to be set at once. (r56748)
* Color picker now supports 3 digit hex colors like HTML, e.g. #123 becomes #112233. (r57135)
* Units, display 0.5mm rather than 500um, nicer when dealing with very small sizes but not microscopic (r57149)
* Double click now selects entire words (like on file path segments) (r57280)
* File-selector now maps back and forward history to back and forward buttons on a 5 button mouse. (r57285)
* For users without middle-mouse buttons, you can now use Circle and Border de-select by holding SHIFT. (r57577)
* Expanded control of enum properties in bitflag mode now follow other similar controls behavior (i.e. click only select one item, shift-click to (de)select several ones). See e.g. transform manipulators selectors, in the header of 3D views (r56706).
* Icon-only expanded enums where still using the label to compute their width, now they just take room needed by the icon (r57576).

Weight Paint
Vertex Weights Panel

* Reworked Weight Paint panel and added make it work in weight paint mode when vertex selection is enabled. (r57468)
* Weight tools such as limit-total, levels, clear - that operate on many groups can now select from active/deformed/non-deformed/all. (r57005)


Sequencer

* Added a mask modifier for sequence strips (r56582).
* Fix naming of strips when adding a bunch of video files at once, previously all strips got the same name (from first file name), now each get a name matching it's underlying file (r57610).

Other

* Auto indent for multi-line Python statements in the Python console. (r56558))
* Support for storing text styles in themes (r57275).
* Transformation Constraint now allows applies rotation offsets too (like for location) (r57309)
* 2D painting now supports texture masks and does masking more consistent with projection painting. (r56699)

wow. Interesting!
I never knew there was a Blender3D user here.... Good one @Amhatu.

I have been hobbying around with Blender3D for a couple of years since the 2.4x series. though became more addicted to it after migration to Python 3x... And the revamped UI in 2.5x

Though I am a down to earth Blender3D 'hobbyist'... I majorly use Blender3D for Modelling and Rigging Mechanical related Designs... even in one of my professional line...(Mechanical Engineering)

I am 'heavilly' constrained by time... But I am also a programmer... And I recently started going through the Python API and some simple addons esp the dxf import addon... cause I want to ease the work of translating vertices and edges on 2D 3rd Angle projections from an AutoDesk .dxf file to 3D planes...
I hope to start developing that Add-on gracefully by next year.



#++++#
BTW... You mentioned somewhere here that Cycles gives better rendering results for interior rendering.... Except if its my lighting and texturing skills... For me, Luxreder tends to be a bit more powerful in interior realism...

I primarily use Cycles. And I have to say that Cycles is superb at virtually everything. And its so much enjoyable if you have any recent EXTREMELY powerful CUDA or OpenCL capable GPU.

BTW. @amhatu
I love your house model. Its pretty nice!!

WhiZTiM: wow. Interesting!

I Primarily Use Blender Internal and GLSL Shader Mode. The reason being I discovered while appling all textures & shaders in this mode(Blender Internal and GSL Shader Mode) you can still render in cycles therefore modes will be compatible across all platforms. I only use cyles for quick render passes.

Thanks!!

I will soon be doing a short reel Animation also look forward to my full feature Animation film.

Nice to meet you and goodluck with Blender!!

Nice to Meet You ncpat(m)!


The Best way I found to Learn Blender is to begin visualizing the things that interest you in the real world. Apply those
things to your learning curve while learning to work with the Mesh objects (plane,curve,UV sphere,cylinder or other).


Be patient because Blender 3D is very intricate but once learned you will be rewarded.

@ncpat,


I registered on your Forum can you add a Blender3D Topic, + ogg or ogv Video support would be helpful if supported on your forum it will be very use full so I can display some work in Full High Quality HD.

hi, I've been using blender for d past six months. I want to begin an animation series. Can we collaborate.

kazuna: hi, I've been using blender for d past six months. I want to begin an animation series. Can we collaborate.

Nice to Meet You kazuna.

For Some Friendly advice, it takes Time,effort & Financial Support to put together a Animation Series.

For A Animated Feature Film this can be done in a 2 Year period of time with knowledgeable person(s) whom have worked on projects alike or similar . Comercially speaking revenue generated from the Feature Film can go to your Animated Series.

A Alternative would be is to raise the funds through croud sourcing like kickstarter for an example.

Also you can finance it yourself with about 300,000 to 500,000 Euro or Naira ₦ (62,997,200 - 104,995,000) if you have it available.



Can you post some of your Blender3D Work?


Follow My Blender Thread and watchout for my Animation Short Reel.

Hi there. I love the fact that there are a lot of enthusiasts out there. Hopefully we'll be able to collaborate on something in the future. Here is a 'timing-out' of a video I'm working on. It's just a rough test to see how well I can animate the camera to fly through the room.

@ ladanski(m),

Nice Work! I think I see Some GLSL Mode

Hi, thanks for your advice, maybe i'll go for a 10 mins short then.
I'm particularly in interested in xter animation and fluid dynamics. But since i'm alone in 3d where i am, i tend to do it all, Compostin, xter modelln etc.
How can i send ya my high res pics? This simple forum does not allow for larger uploads.
Are you on whatsapp? If so here's ma no 07087592421 and mail kamag234@gmail.com.
Here's a xter i'm testing for lip sync and the boids are also for advanced boids test following a curve path.

nice one but the fire need more work

Nice work, Kazuna. Let me point out some aspects that could use more work

1. The character's posture looks completely rigid. Use a reference.
2. The fire could also use some compositing.
3. The walls also look too boxy. You could use the 'bevel' modifier to fix that.

Nice work though.

thanks pal. Notes taken

@ kazuna, keep it up guy. The fire light casting light and shadow on your render looks great.

ladanski(m) made some good pointers keep up the good work.

Still learning and I think blender is cool
