When I started learning Blender 12 years ago, I remember feeling frustrated that there wasn't really any beginner "course". Like a series of posts that will show you the basics. Instead I had to jump from tutorial to tutorial, and gleam what I could from each. It would be years before I'd make full sense of it. Since then, several other people have created beginner courses... but I personally find
The difference between a boring image and an outstanding image can often just come down to the lighting. But lighting is such a complex and rarely discussed topic, that a lot of artists are left to just guesswork. So in this post, I'll break down some of the common mistakes in lighting, and share with you 6 of my own tips for better lighting in blender. Feel free to download this model by Ben Simo
Ahh photorealism. The holy grail of cg. There's nothing better than fooling an audience into believing that what you've made is a photo. Especially when that audience is 3d users. Over the years we've seen some crazy photorealistic images made using Blender. Let's pay a homage to the images that blew our minds... 1. Snow by BlackRainbow Fun fact: those snow flakes are actually suzanne heads :P Gre
It's been 5 years ago since I created this earth tutorial. And year after year, it's remained one of our most popular tutorials on the site! But since that tutorial was made using Blender Internal (boo!), I figured it was time for an remake using Cycles. Also, as you can see it's more of a fun stylized result ;) Finished Result In the tutorial you'll learn: Easy texture mapping for spheresHow to u
Shading (the process of setting up materials) is an often over-looked step in the CG pipeline. I used to just play with the material settings until it looked a bit like what I was trying to make, and then move onto texturing thinking that that was all there is to it. However, in my never-ending quest for realism I've come to realize that shading is in fact the most important step in creating somet
Find Cycles Nodes a little confusing? You're not alone. Whilst Cycles Nodes offer almost you limitless control over a materials, many users struggle to understand it's labyrinth of options. Which is why this post dares to do the impossible: explain every Cycles shader in easy to understand, plain English. Enjoy! -Greg Zaal Diffuse BSDF What it does: Receives light and diffuses it with zero visible
There's too many settings and functions in Blender to remember what each one does. And Google searches often raise more questions than they answer! Introducing the Blender 101 series! The series where we focus on a specific area of blender and show you what each function does. First up... The Modifier Encyclopediaby Anderson Baptisa Ahh the ever growing modifier panel. There's some that we use eve
Fireflies are those tiny burnt out pixels, that ruin an otherwise great Blender render. But how to get rid of them? Here's several tricks that I've picked up over the years... 1. Use Bigger Light Sources This is probably the #1 cause of fireflies. With a tiny light source, Cycles has to work super hard to project light and shadows out of it. And since it's so small, it's very prone to error. Thus:
Did you know that the Blender Internal render engine has been discontinued? *gasp!* I know. Apparently the decision was made 2 years ago that the Internal Render Engine development would cease, and be focused on Cycles instead. For some reason this news was never broadcast to the community, so I’m doing it right now. What does this mean? It means that the future of Blender will likely be Cycles on

Learn to create realistic fire in Blender 2.5 with this free eBook.Previously, creating fire in Blender was a chore. We were forced to use the outdated particle system combined with the clumsy halo renderer. We cringed as we hit F12 and watched the equivalent of a mustard stain materialize on screen. Those days are over. The new smoke simulator can not only create realistic smoke, but a gorgeous f
When you open the brand new Blender 2.5 Alpha version, you will notice that a lot has changed. For one, buttons are now vertical, and most of them have new icons and names. When they rebuilt Blender from the ground up, a few things were moved for the better. You know all those “industry professionals” that complain how awful the Blender interface is? Well these changes were designed to keep them h
