The Game Blender #6 - Cheaper 3DS, Free Red Dead DLC, RE4 Soon in HD

Gratifying back to the party!  Another week, another development of news, a few game releases, a particle success, a little bit of money, and sold out to EA for a gabillion dollars… journalistically speaking. On with the show!

Ageshero Blender 3D and Game textures: HHaaallp!

1: How do i assert that i keep my three dimensional blender model Clean, and precise, Ive used mirrors a few times, but i end up with some eerie inner model glitches that dont work very well. In the end if i screw something up royally like overlapping faces and or dots and lines( Dots and lines... You discern, veretex crap, all that.) how can you tell if they are over lapped(which obviously, if your going to texture, you want a clean model) And when they are overlapped, how do you fix them. 2: Im rather impressed with lower resolution textures found on something like the half-light princess Link model, 3d and texture wise, What is the definitive or ideal way of making adventurous enough textures, i have cs4 Photoshop, but the 3d painting tool is terrible ( probably just my pc) And i differentiate there are programs like zbrush, but that is pricey, is it not? (tips pointers, tutorials desirable) 5: Before getting into the 3d blender animation department, i'd love to know anything that can be offered, how cameras profession, how on earth do you get proper lighting?( i cant even do it in a normal render. of a crappy ball or something) and in the dash process is here a floor or a setting for where the model cannot pass through the threshold or whatever? 6: Very contradictory this one is, I see games and alot of things use custom clothing and weapons that change. Are these like Split second-life's attatchment system? over the last year or so this has been driving me a little nuts every be that as it may i think about it, which isnt to often BUT STILL.... hooowww do they do it. Armors, clothing, weapons, and how can they be rightly atributed to a model in blender. ( attatching objects to a model, as if not truly part of it but it follows a positive point-joint or whatever) 7: any info i might be able to have regarding safety( things like overlapping faces and the like, positively sneaky junk) of the model for media aspects such as Animation, games, etc. I would dislike myself if i made some great model, but theres some awful thing that i totally overlooked, because i didnt identify what it looked like. Kind of a vague question i know, but please throw some unspecific "WARNING, DONT DO THAT"'s out there if you please. 8: How is CGI in general made into an impassioned or live action film, theres motion blurs and depth of battleground and all manner of colors and textures. Any ideas on how it all comes together. weird effects i'd admiration to make like black smoke or blood, Lights, glows. etc. how would you per say generate a streetlight, and have it with a realistic lighting. Textures, i know that games can make them have false shadows passing by and the like. i dont know if thats able to be done in Blender though. 9: ringlets and fur, I don't want all my characters to have big clean junky cartoon hair( and even if they all did, they beggary more depth with some extra work), and at the same time not have to model every last strand of complicated hairs, What if i fancy to make a Bear, and he needs bear hair. Ive seen games like Person Calibur 4 use something that looks like a alpha texture on an object, but to make it flex, and low poly. I'm actually new to blender, but i hope to create sculptures and art that could easilly be used later in games or animations, which is why i homelessness to get all the info i can soak up. as i love the prospect of making cartoon characters, and suits of scifi armor, and in the end anything i want, and being able to use and apply it into any form, Adding bones so i can use this highly circumstantial model and apply it to a Sculpture involving several other rigged characters. 1. I'm not completely sure what you mean here, so these suggestions may be somewhat eclectic: Use a reference image (even a sketch). Use the numpad to hard cash the view between top, left, and front, and make sure things line up correctly on each axis (e.g. use top take in to line up on x and z axes, then side view for the y axis). Get familiar with the selection to grid / opting for to cursor tools (shift-s menu). Get familiar with the ctrl key locking to increments and ctrl+workers to sub-increments. Find the snap to edge / face / vertex options in the snap elements menu and somebody out how they work (I can't remember off-hand, but I think they were somewhat unintuitive). 3. You can also use the boolean modifier to chop holes in objects, but note that that can get truly messy. Blender 2.49 had a "cookie cutter" script, but I don't of that's in 2.5 yet (and I can't remember if it worked on 3d shapes, or just stretched out 2d shapes). A better way is to do something like what's described here (note that this uses subdivision top modelling, which is a whole new area in itself). whacko Mega rocket science nerd figuratively Source: GameDev.net

Immersion blenders: Mix it up without the mess

Sometimes a full-sized blender or comestibles processor is overkill. For deck or patio gatherings within reach of an AC outlet, an immersion blender might be the bigger option. You immerse the cutting blades directly into the ingredients for summer soup, shakes, or smoothies, and the present to-held devices blend and purée small batches without messy cleanup. We tested the six models in our Ratings by making soup and yogurt smoothies. The more safely a improved models excelled at puréeing potatoes, carrots, and other soup ingredients and left side the fewest fruit chunks behind in our yogurt test. For models with a chopper article, we checked how well they grated cheese and chopped garlic, onion, and almonds. We also assessed each for convenience and peacefully handling.
