One of the best-known image formats is the “GIF”. This format stores information of an image of any size without loss of information in a very efficient compressed format.
One possibility is supported by “package” multiple images in the file that can be presented sequentially generating a simple animation loop.
Snow and occluded environments with bright flashes in the color brightens every corner, make repetitive patterns in our Christmas pictures.
Another delivery, as usual in the last month of the calendar, an image background to serve on our computer screen. An image in the gallery will store this year.
A new installment of the series of synthetic images that inspire us this Christmas, made entirely with Blender. These works are done in a short time, prioritizing the freshness of symbolism with minimal technical realization.
Another of the images we have associated with the Christmas season is the leaves of plants with fruit mistletoe. Many doors you wake this time with this peculiar décor.
Today we propose a simple exercise of creating a Christmas desktop background supported image of this plant.
Christmas balls and tinsel fête the holidays. The light reflects these elements that help create that atmosphere of fantasy full of color and brightness.
The following image was generated with Blender, to be used as wallpaper on these dates so emotional. The composition is made from the same model of ball, creating duplicates with different textures and mimicking his fall on a plane as rigid bodies.
Since the saying goes:
Year of Snow, year real.
And this fall we are waiting for the winter with the first snowfall of the ski season. This saying, application on grain areas of the plateau can serve to motivate us in times of crisis, and has served as inspiration for a new Christmas screensaver, performed with fluid simulation system applied to the label Blender (rexto) next year.
A new year, hopefully, it is full of good intentions and especially opportunities for all concerned. If 2013 beginning of the Maya Long Count calendar, in 2014 we will be in the second year of this way of counting the cycles of life.
The picture has been made with Blender, Rendered with Cycles using the technique of tinsel Christmas we develop in this Blog, text associated with a christmas ball result of adapting the tutorial “Blender Tutorial For Beginners: Carved Text” you can see on youtube pages tutor4u.
Programming methods to image synthesis is associated with the term “Shader”.
A shader is essentially a piece of code that, from geometry and environmental conditions (light, materials, textures …) creates images that can be photorealistic or non-photorealistic (NPR).
The new version of Blender suggests a series of tests to determine the benefits of non-photorealistic rendering mode (NPR) called Freestyle.
A forest of neurons may be an organic example of interest to try to rearrange a complex image with the contours provided by this image generation method.
The latest revision of Blender, to be licensed soon, includes rendering mode called “FreeStyle” with which we can obtain new representations of 3D scenes.
FreeStyle is part of the so-called NPR or Non-Photorealistic Rendering. They are rendering modes that deviate from the visual realism, incorporating techniques developed from the models we have known thanks to the comics.
This course students have been especially motivated Blender. It has been noticed in the environment and the interest shown in their work.
Today I want to share one of the best jobs, performed by a single student after 7 classes with Blender animation.
Schwenzer Max is a German student exchange between universities that I was struck by their dedication and ability to work. Its production is a sample of almost all of the concepts that have been developed in this short course and their personal ability to assimilate.
