Pancakes Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 This is important because people should liberate themselves from the limitations of UU3d when they are using Leadwerks. If you pay money for an animated model, you owe it to yourself to get the most out of that model. By learning just a little bit about blender you guys can stretch your investments further and further with the art packs that you purchase and even start making models of your own. afecelis seems to really know his stuff, so even if you don't THINK you want to learn this, if he's making the videos for you, you might as well watch them, it might change your mind. 1 Quote Core I5 2.67 / 16GB RAM / GTX 670 Zbrush/ Blender / Photoshop CS6 / Renoise / Genetica / Leadwerks 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassius Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Yeah I enjoyed watching this video. I would like to see one on uv mapping. I have already checked out some existing ones but found them hard to follow. 1 Quote amd quad core 4 ghz / geforce 660 ti 2gb / win 10 Blender,gimp,silo2,ac3d,,audacity,Hexagon / using c++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afecelis Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 Thanks for the comments guys, they are very motivating! I'm about to upload the second video, and little by little I'll try to make them as leadwerks-specific as possible, making everything practical. I do have a UV mapping video planned aimed at creating props for leadwerks. If you got any suggestions or inquiries with regard to what you'd like to see in blender please feel free to post them here. regards, Alvaro ps. 31% of video02 uploaded!

cassius Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Good work.Thanks. It looks like learning keyboard shortcuts is essential with Blender. 1 Quote amd quad core 4 ghz / geforce 660 ti 2gb / win 10 Blender,gimp,silo2,ac3d,,audacity,Hexagon / using c++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afecelis Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 Thanks guys. Yup, shortcuts in blender are heavily used, but they improve the modeling process a lot. You can still create stuff the usual way, through the menus, but believe me, once you learn the shortcuts your modeling skills and the modeling process will be vastly improved, hence me showing the 2 sides of the coin, but always emphasizing the use of shortcuts. In the next tutorials I'll be modeling stuff without stopping into so much detail, so it's essential you guys know what I'm doing in each step as I mention it. I'm very glad you find the tuts useful, that's the fuel that moves most of us willing to share something. regards, Alvaro Quote Win8.1 Pro X64/ Intel core I7 @ 3.5GHz / 32GB DDR3 SDRAM / GeForce GTX 660+760/ VC++ Express 2013/ Blender /Unwrap3dpro3 /Modo 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cassius Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Are the Blender keyboard shortcuts available somewhere where we can copy/paste them or print them out.

afecelis Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 In fact there's one for blender 2.5 that applies to 2.6: http://www.blenderguru.com/wp-content/uploads/Exclusive/Blender_Cheat_Sheet.pdf And funnily enough, they do exactly what you say, print them out and tape them on the wall to consult them! this one should also come in handy: http://www.katsbits.com/files/blender/katsbits-blender-shortcut-chart.pdf Quote Win8.1 Pro X64/ Intel core I7 @ 3.5GHz / 32GB DDR3 SDRAM / GeForce GTX 660+760/ VC++ Express 2013/ Blender /Unwrap3dpro3 /Modo 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cassius Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Another good tutorial. But I find lathing much easier/faster in gmax or silo.

afecelis Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 Cool! It was a nice surprise to see Gmax among your tools! I got very good memories from that package. And yup, I'm sure many things may be easier to create in other programs but I want to cover as much land as possible here, in case a user ever requires such feature. I myself, feel a lot more comfortable working in blender than in any other 3d modeler nowadays, but I also mix working in it with other valuable 3d applications. Thanks for commenting and for following the tuts so far regards, Alvaro Quote Win8.1 Pro X64/ Intel core I7 @ 3.5GHz / 32GB DDR3 SDRAM / GeForce GTX 660+760/ VC++ Express 2013/ Blender /Unwrap3dpro3 /Modo 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassius Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Yeah. I ude several 3d apps, but these tuts are among the best I have seen on Blender.

YouGroove Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Terrain on blender and import it with Lightmap on LE3 can do good results i think This is AWESOME to promote Blender. It is complete from modeling ,UV, basic painting to animation, and first of all it's FREE. Perhaps not easy to pick up, but once you have main keys it goes fast. 1 Quote Stop toying and make games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karmacomposer Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I bought Modo 601/701 and will be using that to create my objects, characters and terrains. Thank you for these tutorials. I have bought several books about Blender in the past and STILL could not get the hang of the program. It just does not work the way I am used to with other 3D animation programs.

afecelis Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Thanks for commenting Mike. For me it was the opposite way; after many years of having bought and working in 3ds max and trying out other programs, once I got the hang of Blender's workflow I never turned back to the others (and never paid Autodesk another yearly upgrade, which was killing me! lol). regards, and I hope these tuts help you integrate Blender in your 3d pipeline better.
