For a large part of my time the last 2 weeks have been focused on learning Blender. A free open source 3D tool that is incredible powerful and complex.
The learning curve is aided by Lynda.com’s exceptional tutorials for Blender and Lee Brimelow’s tutorial on GotoAndLearn. When creating 3D in flash, Lee’s tutorial shows you how to build a model in Blender and bring it into flash using Papervision. Very helpful in understanding the process from beginning to end.
One trick I have found helpful is after you have exported the UV map outlines in Blender (UVs –> Scripts –> Save UV Face Layout), in Photoshop keep the layer with the outlines on the top and change the layer blend mode to “Color Burn”. This removes all the white and keeps the outline visible.
Otherwise, Merry Christmas Everyone!
This afternoon I attended a presentation to show off a telepresence system to let NorQuest college staff communicate between campus’.
The set up is a pc, high def video camera, LCD TV and light. The system delivers the video over alberta’s supernet network at 6 mbps!
The draw back is the cost. To set up to rooms on the basic system is close to $65,000! That doesn’t include setting up the rooms, audio design and designing the rooms to look the same on both sides.
Over all a really neat technology with a lot of potential. Check out the photos below:
