Blender tips and tutorials

Monday, June 30th, 2008

If you are using our Picture Mixer tool to create pictures, animations, or webcam effects, but would like to change the result in some way we haven’t thought of, you can just download the design from our site and tweak it yourself in Blender, a free and open 3D graphics program. For those who haven’t used Blender before, we’ve prepared a list of tips and tutorials for getting started. It is definitely a skill worth acquiring, even if just for the fun of it!

Creativity has a flavor

Big site update. Where to begin? We’ve refined our mission statement on the main page. The picture mixer interface is a lot better these days, and you can now download your pictures or animations as webcam effects for use with ucanvcam. There are lots of examples of designs from users showing up. We’ve posted a call for blends to start the search for blender designers who might want to use the site to “package” their work in an attractive way. Lots of activity, and lots more to come.
