Learning Blender in a crunch

while taking cs4342, to be honest i learnt everything about Blender from Youtube to complete my assignments. perhaps the teaching styles didn't match, but i didn't feel that labs were helpful at all.

get Blender here: http://www.blender.org/

so after prowling Youtube for hours to learn from scratch what Blender is and such, I have compiled a list of Youtube tutorials for Blender which i found were succinct and great! i can be impatient so these videos are mostly shorter than 20mins.

first up, cgboorman is awesome to the max! ♥ he has a series of tutorials covering various topics and they are all clear and easy to follow.

check out his channel here: http://www.youtube.com/user/cgboorman

Simple Animation by TheMrGoman:

Modelling a human by RivenPhoenix:

Animating paths by ianscott888:

Export animation by Daniel Kreuter:

Blender also has a video editing function which is very easy to use with it's drag and drop function.

and this is how i survived my 3d modelling module assignments. with the power of Youtube! i'm not good at it but at least i could scrape pass i guess. (T▽T)

nice songs always help make modelling less tedious:

Childhood Memories

i was a happy kid with piles of scrap paper and markers. as i was digging for my academic certificates, i got side tracked by these drawings i did when i was in primary/kindergarten. hahaha. found them in a file under my dressing table. there were a lot more drawings, autograph books, birthday cards and even compositions i wrote. hahaha. those will not see the light of day.

guess i never had any knack for color coordination. what's up with their funky clown hair hahaha!

my obsession with multi-colored hair mermaids started young. complete with the sun-at-the-corner look.

this should be primary 3? with the YG magazine last time.

those weird concerts we always have during children's day. the lady in the audience looks like she has black poop for hair. ahahaha.

a note from when i was p5 from this p1 girl who i buddied with! i can't believe i still have these.

nostalgiccccc.

Android Camera Apps Part 1!

i don't have a digital camera so all my photos on my blog etc are all from my s2! sometimes the photos are not that great in terms of color nor focus so i tend to edit them all before upload. 

and my favorite is jengjeng jenggggg...PHOTOWONDER.

Photowonder allows simple vignetting, beautifying function and several filters that i simply a-d-o-r-e. they have a skin smoothing function which i use for photos where i'm makeup-less. freaking photoshop on your phone. who won't love it. hahaha. cheat max. the newer versions of the app even allows you to choose the extent of skin smoothing you want, ie. extent of the gaussian blur or similar algo on your skin. so you don't end up with crazy porcelain skin - unless you want to.

then there is their Autumn filter! bright photos with vivid colors distract me a lot. i can't focus properly and tend to just miss the point of the photo. desaturating colors help me see the entire photo if that makes sense at all. hahaha. not to mention how dreamy the photo looks.( ^3^ )/

Photowonder processed with Autumn filter!

next is this Cartoon Camera. if you're into old school cartoons or just looking for interesting backgrounds, try this app! it has several filters and you can choose the extent of the color and noise.

my messy room looks interesting now. hahaha.

with less noise, more color

less color, more noise

awesome pencil hatching style!!! just imagine the stuff you can superimposed onto them to make stories etc etc.

pencil outline style in color.

Hello Kitty Pastel Dots Nails Tutorial

if you want these nails, follow this super easy tutorial!

 

i used a gold glitter for kitty's nose cause i've no yellow. For black, i used a Sharpie. not ideal since it bleeds so use black polish if you have it!

i like straighter squarish nails cause they look more neat.

repeat this step if your polish is sheer/thinner.

toothpicks are inexpensive and perfect for dotting, especially those with a flat end.

when it all dried, i applied about 2-3 coats of Canmake's Gel Top coat. My nails are quite thin and normal top coats are fine but this gel top coat is awesome! it gives the semi-illusion of gel nails. of course it wont be as thick(maybe if you applied like 10 coats...) but there is visible thickness after 3 and i love the shine! normal top coats do seal everything in but with this, your nails get "evened out" since it is thick and i only painted the tips. yupp. awesome awesome. plus it dries rather fast. do make sure everything is dried before applying your top coat to prevent any smudging. mine did a bit.

ps. i got these washi tape etc in my resource folder for a very long time so i'm not too sure where i got them from. if you made them and want credits etc please email me thanks!

Of Triangles and Lines

i like lines. they are fascinating and extremely beautiful to me.

Save the Mermaids

seriously, people need to stop throwing their refuse into the oceans. it's just plain stupid. Singapore's waters are so...ugh.

also, my scanner gave out so i can't upload anymore stories. and i'm so burnt out from school hence this 5min doodle. plus there is a re-midterm tmr which i feel is a waste of time cause of various factors, mainly cause the topic coverage is different from finals. sigh.
