Is there a simple way to make a region or new object in order to change the material properties at the intersection of two or more objects? For example: Or this, where the intersection area of interest is shown in orange and is the intersection between 3 different objects I have read a little ...

I made a question yesterday, and someone did answer something, I remember i asked for more information in the comments, but today I checked again and the user deleted the answer. Wich makes me feel like i'm crazy or something, but no, i'm sure he (or she) actually did answer my question. There ...

When I move an object using, for example, g x 0 has no effect at all. Seems like that kind of shortcut works relative to the current transformation. How can I use the same, except modifying its global position instead?

Well, I make Minecraft Animations and I was moving from Blender 2.69 to Blender 2.70. The version move was successful. It rendered properly n' stuff. I was playing around with nodes and render layers. After a while I took a render. and all of a sudden every thing did not render. Only the things I...

I'm trying to write my own export script, and I'm not sure how to reference the uv coordinates as an element array, similar to how .obj format works (ie. you have a list of all uv coordinates "vt s t" and each face selects the correct index). I looked at previous threads on similar things, but th...

I'm trying to fade an object's regular solid surface into its wireframe. I've got as far as duplicating the object and deleting vertices until I'm left with an area of overlap. Is it possible to render this in such a way that there is a smooth transition at the area of overlap? Maybe there is...

I recently attempted to make an animation which shows a series of cubes hitting and bouncing off a pinned sheet, where the cubes can also interact and bounce off each other. For the pinned sheet both collision & cloth settings are enabled. The cubes all have collision, cloth, rigid body and rigi...

while I am trying to copy a object (with nodes) (e.g. cube) to another blend file. The object that I am trying to copy was modified with nodes and I can't copy the object with nodes or manually copy the nodes. Can anyone tell me how to copy the object with nodes and other properties? Or copy the ...

I created a bridge, created the uvs and created a material with a texture in cycles. I can see the textured result when I set the viewport shading to material, but when I try to render the image, the material just appears to be black. Any idea why this could happen?

I recently bought a model pack from video copilot but when I got it and tried to import the .objs into blender the object renders black and the texture isn't showing in the material(the sphere representing the material is blends default gray color).

I'm having problems using the UV mapping in blender 2.67. Specifically, I am trying to unwrap a really simple mesh, but the UV map is still giving me a net where some of the boxes are completely out of proportion to the others, which causes the texture to stretch horribly. Here is a picture to il...

I want to get a lot of performance in rendering, but I also want stability and useful features that can be included in Blender builds. GraphicAll builds seem to be geared towards a more specific set of features people might want, and they may include extra CUDA kernels (Blender reports that my c...

How should I deal with the horizon in a scene? I have tried blocking it with fog,a hill, or even water but they all tend to look tacky. showing none of the sky tends to make it look flat. what should I do to make the horizons look nice instead of just cutting off into the sky?
