In this video, I give a Blender3D tutorial on how to model a pipes of pan. It will make a nice prop that can be used in just about any 3D application.

This is a beginner level tutorial. In it I’ll go over creating a cylinder, resizing objects, subdividing edges, duplicating objects, and extruding edges.

Using Daz Characters in Vue, A Video Tutorial

Like this? Get on my mailing list: http://IntrovertArtist.com/newsletter to hear about my latest videos, articles, and artwork.

In this video, I show you three ways to get characters from Daz Studio into an Vue scene:

The first is to export the character as an obj from Daz then import it into Vue prior to rendering.

The second is to render the character in Daz Studio, save it as a png, then use an alpha plane in Vue to include it in your scene.

The third way is to use an image editor (I use GIMP) to composite the Daz and Vue renders together.

Rigging a Complex Model in Blender 3d

In this video, I show you how to rig a complex model using a Blender 3D armature to create and underlying skeleton of bones that you can use to pose 3D character models. I also show you how to use Blender’s weight paint mode to tweak the rigging so that all the parts of the model correctly move with the rig.
