Pressing CTRL + ALT + NUMPAD 0 causes the camera object to teleport over and align itself to the current view in the 3d viewport. However, it usually takes up only a small portion of that view, meaning that you have to move the camera back to fit the same view you had before. Is there a way to ...

I have to display several versions of the same object, with only the color changing. My first approach was to duplicate the mesh and add a different material to each. My problem is: when I want to modify the mesh, I have to do it on each object separately. I tried to have different objects with ...

I have seen the tutorials involving the use of the compositor to produce an atmosphere, but I wanted to be more authentic. Since Cycles now has volume support, I have tried using the sphere gradient texture conntected to a color ramp (knowing that black is 0 density and white is 1) to get an ac...

I was trying to create the same as in this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whjFb0xFoLk But when I do exact the same my objects keep regrowing. So each next object will be even bigger then the one before. Can someone please tell me what I did wrong here? Thanks in advanced. Kevin

To be clear i want a script, which produces what i am describing below. I want to iterate through all the cameras in my scene where each one renderes an image. I can do this manually by rendering with active camera, then set another camera to active, and then render again. I have five cameras i...

I want to be able to change the background color of a property ui. At the moment it does: Green = has an Fcurve Yellow = has a keyframe Purple = has a Driver I want to to be able to change the color of the background depending my own conditions. IE I don't want to change the color theme, I w...

How do I extrude this top so the mesh will form a complete dress. More precisely, after applying the mirror modifier, each horizontal loop contains N=24 vertexes. To get good results from the cloth simulator, I want the skirt to have at least 4N vertex around each horizontal loop. Is it possible ...

I know this may be a very basic question, but I somehow got myself tangled up. I'm trying to make procedural textures (like clouds) to follow the geometry of a simple model, for instance, a distorted plane. I'm satarting from a plane and then adding twists and bends to it. by now it's not work...

I am new to Blender and in need of help. I apologise for poor terminology. I have created two meshes under Scene. At first there wasn't a problem but now I need to create faces between the first mesh and the second mesh but I can't as I am only able to select one mesh at any given time. Is there...

hi i have modeled a city full of many buildings and i want to make a game in which a car goes through the city. i have designed the car and put correct logics on it and i have also put in enough lights(hemi) in the scene. i have made the camera follow the car using logic bricks and i have changed...

I'm trying to distribute a large number of shapes onto a mesh surface. I found a command in blender that does this, but it only allows me to place one shape on each vertex/face. I would need to add many more of them. Is there are a command in blender that will distribute the maximal possible den...

I am contemplating between the AMD FX6300 and AMD FX4350, the former being [email protected] and the latter being [email protected] http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Bulldozer/AMD-FX-Series%20FX-4350.html http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Bulldozer/AMD-FX-Series%20FX-6300.html

Does anybody know how to choose one or more from multiple defined render layers by name from commandline or from the blender python console? So, disable all render layers except the ones specified.

how can I make video output smaller, or what would be a better codec to use as currently 31 seconds of video is 127MB, at that rate videos longer than a few minutes would be impractical because I'd have such large files. I used AVI JPEG because it seems to open in more video players, not sure if ...
