For our eyes it represents just a small tree suspended between olive trees; for another creature it represents a small world.

As I said yesterday, the globe I represented in “Blue Levitating Marble” scene is based on a very detailed Andrew Price’s tutorial; you can find it here. I introduced some changes to materials described in the tutorial: particularly I modified the atmosphere because it had a sharp profile, to optimize the render time; so I […]
I imagined this scene after seeing Andrew Price‘s tutorial “How to make earth in blender (cycles)”. Differently from it, I created an interior scene, in which a levitating globe is replaced by an iper-realistic Earth: therefore the scene title is “Levitating blue marble”; the reference, obviously, is the well-known image taken by Apollo 17 crew […]
In this small tutorial we’ll create a “wireframe render“, a photorealistic image (rendering) with the 3d model structure (wireframe) overlay. Let’s start with creating our scene, setting lights, materials, etc. In this tutorial we’ll use a very simple scene. Open “user preferences” from “file” menu, select “addons” tab and type “freestyle” in search box (1); […]
Maybe someone of you remembers the 3d model and render of a “trullo” (a small stone building) published here less than a year ago. During last weeks I decided to work again on that scene and make some changes and improvements, thanks to the bigger experience in modeling, materials creation, post-processing and generally in the use of […]
Today I want to share a little trick to create plane objects with double face in Blender. An example? A leaf: with this method you can apply a first material to the leaf upper face and a second material, different from the other one, to the leaf lower face. Node base configuration is super easy: […]
A new section dedicated to downloads is arriving: you will download materials, textures, 3d models… prepared for Blender and Cycles render engine. Stay tuned!
