Hi all !

I have made my first video with Blender. It's a simple video of 30 seconds, I'm a begginer with the great Blender, but I want to share with the community Don't be cruel it's my first step with Blender ;)

Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wO_5eT4xQKI

Excellent. Nice intro or conclusion of openSUSE related video.

PS: all reviews are welcome ;)

Giving honest review and not being cruel. Victor we are not magicians :D Everyone considers his work as important and honest review will include opinions of another person, which are, most likely not the same, and it can sound as cruel, even when not meant as such. ---- GNU/Linux is a bit too big and takes central position at the end, which is not what openSUSE related intro should do. openSUSE central, and below much smaller, but easy readable GNU Linux for open minds ... Note that I dropped / in GNU/Linux. That slash is good for programmers, but in the real world it is just superfluous, and worse, it will confuse number of people. Also "Minds" is not personal noun, so it should be written as "minds". Well, if we consider that as a title then: "GNU Linux for Open Minds ...". I prefer "GNU Linux for open minds ...". All play with text during the video is excellent, but end must have that horizontal and centered. I don't know why, but all intros and ends that I remember end with a horizontal text. I have no idea how to do that in a Blender; my guess would be to move camera, but I have no idea how to do that. (I'm obviously even bigger beginner then you.) Music is good. It fits speed and text changes. Not everyone is young and restless (wild in Bruno's email) and needs high speed hard rock to feel good :) Those that need rock, or equivalent, will need your .blend file to change speed of text flow. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org

Made with Blender Edited with Kdenlive The link to the music is this: http://www.jamendo.com/es/album/73809 and of course all running under openSUSE!!

Have a lot of fun!!

PS: all reviews are welcome ;) OK, as a first attempt at blender, impressive, however a lot of work needs to be done CG wise to actually be presentable

1. Lighting, there is none in this its just 1 simple point light, you need some contract and better shaddow, simply turning on ambient occlusion set to multiply will add a lot have a look at this link http://bensimonds.com/2010/06/03/lighting-tips-from-the-masters/ 2. Materials, putting it simply, they are too simple and too dull, no surface it perfectly flat so give it a very small clouds texture influencing the normals a very tiny about 0.01 usually works. and give it some minor colour changes, like a clouds texture really big size, like 0.8, and give it a slightly lighter green than the material's diffuse 3. Composition. its not really good, to are straying all over the place, in the camera properties, turn on composition guides(thirds and centre) just to keep things in place. and please use the compositor to do some colour curve corrections and some tone mapping and some motion blur as well. and a little bit of bloom wont hurt ;) 4. animation, its all to slow with no pop or connection with the elements, 2 elements should not happen at the same time, offset the animation for 'more than a product" by a little bit and make "we are " to "we are..." to make the connection more obvious and more readable. Just because the music is slow in tone doesn’t mean the animation has to be, so just increase the snappiness to make it more interesting and fun :) Now don't be discouraged by what I have said, this all comes natural with time, so keep at it and soon you will be making some really nice pieces :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org
