Have a look on this tutorial by one of my favourite arch viz talents named Peter Guthrie. I learned a lot by following his procedures. Having a look on his beautyfull work here is also strongly recommended!

This video from Eduard Salier is absolutely beautiful, I really like this slow, hypnotic “onetake” and its black/white style… and of course the music by Massive Attack suits the video perfectly :-) - via digitalurban.org

I just found this on one of my favourite blogs digitalurban.org and I think it´s worth watching it… especially because the city they show in this video is Leipzig :-)

… the city-model is mirror-inverted, so at first I was a bit confused. The 3D-models are automatically generated, which automatically tends to result in heavy artifacts and distorted textures. If you want to see some polished 3D-models of Leipzig, have a look on my homepage www.rotorlabs.com ;-)

I have just published a video about rigging a dog’s foreleg in Blender 2.5.

Although it may not be an ideal rig I think it is fairly comfortable to animate. But I am really open to discuss this, as I’m not such an experienced rigger yet. On the other hand, I’ll probably find that out myself, when I have to use this rig for animation :)
But maybe you can find one or two things in the video that may be useful for you.

Credits go to Tob, who did an excellent foot rigging tutorial on Youtube (youtube.com/watch?v=tApdSx_4b0Q), that I highly recommend to anyone doing rigs in blender 2.5. I learned a lot from his videos.

Hey!
Long time no post - yet again….
Well, we seem to be some lazy bloggers. But nevertheless, there are some news from time to time.
For example this one:
Since yesterday my official BFCT certification page is online!

That means, I’m a Blender Foundation Certified Trainer now! Although that will probably not change anything regarding my training and tutorials, it feels good to be approved and certified by the Blender Foundation.
And now I finally have to start again doing some tutorials to generate some news for this abandoned site! ;-)

Hey!
After my very first job in a VFX-production for a movie, I found this a very entertaining read, and: it’s true.
Have fun, and roto the hell outta that hair :-)

Hey!
Very long time no post, I know. But we are or have been all in very time-consuming projects, so there is no chance to post anything on our poor lonely blog ;-)
But that has just changed! Because the project I have been working on is finally over, the last changes been finished and everyone is happy. Maybe I can write something about it in the future.
One part of my job has been to do Camera-Tracking with Syntheyes, then preparing the 3D-scenes in Blender, then exporting to Maya (yikes!) and from there to Toxik. And while I have been doing a lot of work in Toxik in the end, the most fun-part has been the combination of Syntheyes and Blender. Since then I absolutely love camera-tracking, especially with Syntheyes and Blender, just because it is so quick and easy.
So I though I’d do a quick demo of the workflow.
If I had a better camera, more time and better ideas, I’d do a little short-movie, but this time it’s just a quick demo :-)
Oh, btw, it includes a little piggy named “Klaus”, which is part of another project, and which I put in here just for fun.

I did a small tutorial, just for fun. It’s about setting up a Pumpjack (something like this https://www.pond5.com/stock-footage/322217/pumpjack-oil-well.html) by using constraints. And it is also my very first Blender 2.5 tutorial. Hooray! :-)

Here it is:
