This year I did a lot of practicing with hard surface modeling, so I thought I’d offer these models for free. You’re welcome to use them in whatever you want. They’d make great practice models for texturing or good background sci-fi clutter in a scene. Download links below.

Earlier this year after I did those hard surface modeling and painting timelapses, I got many requests to do an actual tutorial on the process. So even though there’s plenty out there already about texture painting in Blender, I went ahead and did it. There’s a short overview video and then three longer videos going into much more detail.

Ever since posting my Natron mural tutorial, I’ve gotten lots of questions about the process of using the color channels of footage as an alpha channel. It can definitely be a confusing technique, especially if you’re new to compositing. I thought it’d be a good idea to make a short tutorial going over that process specifically.

I’ve always wanted to be able to make awesome hard surface things. I’ve done some things over the years, naturally, and some of them have even turned up in movies, but I never did that really cool, super detailed and complex stuff you see the Blender community making with HardOps, Boxcutter, etc.

A while back I covered how to move your Blender scene into Nuke, and this is sort of the reverse of that. Hope it helps!

Dealing with lens distortion between Blender and Nuke (and Natron, Fusion, etc) just got a lot easier with Blender 2.90! We now have a Nuke lens distortion model you can use!

I realize after the last few posts I made, this whole process might be a bit confusing, so I wanted to consolidate it all into one video. This is a short demo of the complete workflow to get your lens distortion out of Blender using STmaps, beginning to end.

Since I’ve been doing all this STmap lens distortion stuff, and trying to make it as easy as possible for other people, why not give away STmap base images in a variety of sizes!

If you watched my last tutorial on exporting STmaps from Blender to apply your lens distortion in whatever compositing program you are using, I’m happy to share that I have an update that improves the process in every way!
