Work is still progressing on this gamedev project! However, I'm starting from scratch again to build vehicle physics from the ground up ("reinventing the wheel"???). This is "how it started vs how it's going"

If you use and Blender 2.8, then good news - a beta build is ready to try out! Not everything is implemented (e.g. item spawning, animating materials), but materials & mob spawning should be pretty solid. Give it a go!

Linked-Library Overrides (Easy Python Trick) - BlenderNation

See my latest tutorial, covering linked-library overrides! (cool blender/easy python trick) https://www.blendernation.com/2018/03/19/linked-library-overrides-easy-python-trick/

TheDuckCow shows how a few lines of Python code can make a big difference in how you use linked assets. Have you ever library linked a group from another blender file, but wished you could easily modify one part of it? Well, you could always modify the library linked source file, setup driver contro...

Throwback to one of my earlier animations when first getting into 3D animation. Happy solar eclipse!

https://www.facebook.com/TheDuckCow/videos/2249107268491/

This is the animation extension of the photo edit of the week with this name, showing the solar eclipse in process. All was created in blender.

The effect was accomplished like so:
A sphere (the sun), with a high emit level (emit makes 3d models act as a light source) was subdivided 4 or 5 times, then a displacement modifier texture was used. Then the sun sphere was rotated slowly, but because has a high emit value, it simply seems like the edges are changing like slowly flickering fire. On top of this was added a particle system with a "tail", which achieves the result of light streaks leaving the sun. The rest was done in the node editor, achieving the glow and compositing of the sun, earth and stars (each separate), all made within blender.

Couple quick (un-stabilized) hyper-lapses from this past week. I don't have after effects or anything fancy with me to do the fancy smoothing and whatnot.

With season two complete, I thought it would be appropriate to render out this little animation of the show's unwritten future. This was originally made as a part of a Christmas card to a good friend of mine.

Continuing on with my tradition of taking a hyperlapse in every city or town I visit, here's one more to add to the collection. I've gotten enough it may nearly be time to create a compilation!
