Tip : Build Modifier | Blender3d

-
Hi,

Today, I was playing with modifiers and stumbled upon Build Modifier. This modifier is cool in a sense, that it allows you to see your pre made mesh , created step by step in front of you like an animation.

Take a look.



The best thing is , it is very easy to use.

Just create your model. Join all the parts and Add the build modifier.

Start  lets you select the frame number, from where to start the build up animation.

Length allows you to set up the number of frames, your animation is based on.

Seed randomizes the face build up sequence ( It is dependent on the Blend Internal Datablocks creation order).

You can change the build up sequence by select Sort Mesh Elements >> Space Bar Menu.

Here is the link to Official Documentation Build Modifier

Hi There, Recently, i saw a post on a forum , where a user was very puzzled with color usage during Texture Painting of his mesh. It seemed that people are not aware of another hidden (infact it is right there in front of our eyes) feature of blender , The Color Palette . So, today, we'll try to get some knowledge about Color Palette and how to use them. In this tutorial, i am using blender 2.69 (official version). It is not necessary, but you can unwrap your box , assign a texture, before moving forward. You are required to create a folder , where you want to save the color palette, which we will make in this tutorial. Ok, lets get started. Select Texture Paint Mode in 3d View. My Current setup is like this. Initial Setup Select the Corner Anchor of the Color Palette Properties, and move it below the Brush Properties. Color Palette Moved Expand Color Palette Properties. In the last line, there is a Folder Button, which allows you

You can use this with Projection Mapping Modifier. I have added 6 cameras for projection mapping (Layer 2). You can easily extrude and manipulate your texture size as well.

Step 2: Move to front View, by Pressing 1 on NumPad. Step 3: In modifier Panel add "UVProject" to Cube. Step 4: In "UVProject" load Image of your liking (This will be projected on the mesh.

From here you can adjust the size of Image Projection (How big or small you want your texture to show up) .

Today, I'll modify a ready made skeletal mesh , rigged with Riggify for export to udk. Basic Model & Rig were made by Lee Salvemini ( Sintel & Elephants Dream ) in a very detailed rigging tutorial hosted here . I'll be using Blender 2.60 with Darknet's Psk/Psa exporter version 2.3. I strongly recommend you all to step by step work with Lee's tutorial, to grasp the rigging concepts of Blender. It helped me a lot. For impatient, please download the file. http://cgmasters.net/blenderguru/complete_rig_finish.blend Mesh & Armature used in tutorial are not my property and are not usable in commercial application or usage. I am using them just for educational purpose. If you like to use them in your project, please contact the original owners. Ok, Lets get started.
