Android mascot, Andy, has given us a lot of play this year in the practices of modeling and animation, computer graphics course. Students have deployed all their ingenuity to make their work, conceptualizing both symbolic models and in its realization.
As every few months, a new version of the most important free modeling and animation software has come to light. Blender 2.66 is available for download on different operating systems on the official pages of the application: Blender.org
The novelties are many important.
First were fixed over 250 errors (bugs) the previous version.
By introducing transparent materials have been different parameters that characterize. In “Cycles” have named a shader “Glass” to simulate the behavior of translucent objects where the light changes direction through them.
Has an associated transparency parameter that redirection of light rays passing through the material, is the coefficient of refraction; the software performs calculations to simulate these effects are based on the "Law of Snell".
A new wallpaper which straddles the number of graduates realistic wallpaper “Real or simulated?” and “wallpapers de navidad 2012 – 2013” recreating the work entitled “Nuts and Bolts” adding classic Christmas tinsel made in Blender.
A fund-like embossed wooden table serves to support the tinsel, and nut-screw with balls reflecting an environment map.
The coincidence of Christmas with the winter season in the northern hemisphere makes associate snow with these festive dates.
We could not miss us to conduct a snowflake in Blender for a Christmas wallpaper as in past years, with the “Snowflake 2011”, “Snow flakes” or the creation of a material for a realistic snow snowflake.
In this case we have used the system with particles rendering techniques in layers and overlapping with nodes “Mix” to create this new format snowflake wallpaper 1280 x 1024.
A Christmas tree formed by cubes textured, which act as light emitting, and which are the traditional ornament, together with the tinsel and balls, Christmas tree.
The scene is completed with the classic areas (Christmas balls) generating an atmosphere reflective light surround the tree.
These days, while working particle system in Blender, my students have raised my disappointment at not being able to render graphics engine with this hair and other applications of the particles. Now, in version 2.64, se puede renderizar en Cycles un sistema de partículas cambiándolas por elementos, tal y como realizábamos para… (leer más)
The rendering engine “Cycles” materials relies on built of “shaders” and other nodes that give different attributes.
An interesting new node is called, precisely, “Attribute”. We will use this node to give texture to the object coloring its vertices.
Blender incorporates the ability to create threaded bolts and nuts in a simple. These joints are complex to model using traditional editing tools, so grateful that they are incorporated into the latest versions of software.
To access these utilities we enter the User Preferences menu and activate the functionality.
An exercise in rendering the engine Cycles, Spot type three foci in the primary colors of light (Red, Green, Blue), projected onto three planes (horizontal bands) textured glass (glass) in identical colors.
The sum of the different colors allows for other side, and center, where all the three foci, The white color.
Los mapas de entorno permiten recrear un escenario a partir de una imagen panorámica de 360 grados.
Cycles in Blender has a node to create a fund from such images, reflejándose en los objetos que forman la escena.
En el menú “World” podemos definir la iluminación de entorno así como la imagen de fondo o mapa de entorno.
