blender newb created...

after watching a tutorial on youtube and playing around in blender for a few minutes I was able to piece together this.

http://www.f3ar007.com/arch-grass-ambocc-small.jpg

i have a few ideas so im just posting this, i will continue to work on it

leave feedback of what you would like to see...even animated...

or offer help!

i can post the .blend so others can work on it too.

my question:
bascially, i want to know how to get the grass 'Hair' to respond the the arch logo and realize it needs to be bent down. and not pass through the logo as a few blades do.

Re: blender newb created...

Oh this is a nice start mate. Make sure you take advantage of Blender's SSS and AO, They're better than I've seen in some commercial apps IMO (faster anyway). I've used blender on a production level for some time, I've had to switch to Cinema4D, but still playing around with Blender when I get free time...they've come a long way smile
I may do some stuff today too big_smile
Keep up with the work. As a note on your thingie here, I'd multiply the grass in the front a bit more, make the logo really sunk in it

Re: blender newb created...

Do some searches on Blender sites (like blenderartists.org) for collision objects and hair and that should provide some tutorials. Also, look into using some child particles with the hair (if you haven't). You can also check out this part of my website -- I BRIEFLY touch the subject of collision objects:  http://www.dadburn.com/blender/4d.php)

I've been looking for a new hobby. Maybe I'll play around with Blender a little.

Re: blender newb created...

I don't know how you guys do it, I can never seem to wrap my head around blender. The interface, IMHO is cluttered and ambiguous

Re: blender newb created...

First Beta of 2.5 is aiming for around November:

http://www.blendernation.com/blender-de … g-notes-7/

The svn trunk now builds 2.5 pre-beta, so it is the "current" version from svn now.
