What’s the easiest way to create a paint splash effect inBlender? You may have thought of fluid simulation, but even easier way would be to use particles, force fields and metaballs. Garnish it withthe principled shaderand you’re good to go. Download the Project Files Blender Tutorial Ste...
When I first came across a situation when I needed a transparent image in Blender, I didn’t have any idea how to make that happen. But when I learned about shaders and the node editor, I found the answer. To use an image textures alpha channel in Blender we need to set up a mate...
For creating visual effects, Blender uses particle systems, rigid and soft body simulation, cloth simulation, fluid simulation, motion tracking, and compositing. The node-based compositor allows the compositing of your materials with multiple inputs and outputs. You can use Blender’s API for Python...
In Blender™different objects have different types, our worm is currently a series of discrete edges jointed together point to point to make a 1D ‘mesh’. In order to extrude a circle along this we’ll need to convert it into a ‘curve’ Press Alt-C and select Curve from Mesh/Text ...
without leaving the easy-to-use interface. Starting with a CAD model, he could generate the mesh, set up the simulation inputs, run a parametric sweep in parallel, and automatically plot the pump curve. To learn more about how Hazleton was able to do this,make sure to watch the free on...
This method is also great if your purpose is visualisation and rapid prototyping. Blender works very well with VR, 3D printing, and also supports tools for sun path simulation and CFD. For instance here is a derivedIfcSpacethat has been used to help create a wind simulation. In the example...
Generally speaking, it’s always best to make sure the laptop you’re buying has upgradeable RAM so that you can add more if needed. Do You Need DDR3, DDR4, or DDR5 RAM? It depends on the motherboard you’re using. Older chipsets, like Intel’s H87 or Z87, require DDR3 RAM, whi...
Although Blender has been described as difficult to use, it has been very successful on the market. This app has been used for television commercials in several countries, amongst them Australia, Iceland, Brazil, Russia, and Sweden. It is currently used by the History Channel and NASA and has...
