Not sure if you know the Blender 3D Software. It's a professional 3D software and it's open source. It's not easy to use, it took me a few hours to figure out how to handle the basics.

You can create Logos, animated films, 3D text, animation of text, fluid simulation, video games, you can do video editing and photorealistic rendering – and so much more!

You have to know some shortkeys in order to move the object on the interface, you have to set up the lighting and also the camera. Sometimes you are fiddling for half an hour to get your object in the right position! :) But the results are really amazing!


You can play with the indirect lighting and get this glow effect:


You can even make intros for your website and short animation. And you always have to render what you are creating. This 7 seconds animation took mit about 3 hours to render, but the result is amazing:

3D Text Animation

I started 2015 with the program but did not do that much, until now. Since I have my websites, I wanted to learn how to create nice 3D text, logos, banners and headlines. I am very happy about the results (those who are connected with me on facebook might know already some of my pieces I created).

I made those two bursting planets yesterday by simply following the instructions of a video tutorial:


And now I am just wondering: are there any Blender artists here in the community? Sometimes it would be very nice to get some help or some inspiration....

Thanks,

Gerlinde

wow... it looks amazing..

Yes, James... but you need time to learn how to use it...
Thanks for stopping by.

I used to use Blender, but I've now left it to my three girls to play around with. They are right into this kind of thing at the moment; the middle girl especially, she's a keen little coder and loves importing her own graphics into coding projects.

Having a sub-community of users is a great idea!

Glad that you know Blender... I don't have much time left to use it... but I love it! Cool that your girls are using it as well...

It's really exciting to see what you've discovered, and what you've accomplished with visual effects. How great that Blender 3D is open source!

Gerlinde,
you've enriched my day!

Thank you!

I've enriched your day? Mission accomplished, haha!
You can do so much with Blender... but it's not easy to use... it took me a long time to find out how to create 3D text with glow effect... but just follow the so many video tutorials and you will know how to use Blender...

Thanks, Gerlinde

Your 3D text animation was captivating ... so pleasant to watch. Thanks so much for presenting ways to add visual appeal!

Thank you Vance! I love playing with colours and such. And I love Blender...
Thanks for stopping by, much appreciated!
Gerlinde

Oh, I love colors too! I need more colors in my life. :-)

Yes, we all do! :)

Thank you for sharing the knowledge.

Thanks for reading it! :)
Gerlinde

This software looks really cool.

Yes, Suzanne! But it's not easy to handle... it took me hours to find out the basics... but now I really love it!
Thanks, Gerlinde

Very impressive Gerlinde. A virtual camera! Bookmarked. Haven't seen you in awhile! Hope you are well.

It IS impressive... :) Glad you like it!
Yes, it is a virtual camera, indeed! All your objects you create you have to align to the camera view, it's very nice! :)

I am here or busy with Blender! :) So, I did not comment very often lately, you are right...

Thanks, I am ok.... Hope, you are well, too?

Gerlinde

Thank you for reminding Me about blender, I played with it quite a bit when I was building properties in Second Life a couple years ago. I ultimately ended up buying rendered buildings etc ( I never quite figured it out) there are some great youtube videos however about the basics of blender you can search there and find them fairly easy that could help out. Again thank you for reminding Me about the program I had it tucked away in a folder I forgot about. :)

Yes, there are so many great blender tutorials on Youtube! They are fantastic! And yes, you can make some great interior designs and build houses! I have to learn that, too...
Glad you know Blender! :)
You're welcome and thanks for your comment!
Gerlinde

You're welcome, Sylvia!
Yes, do that... but it takes time to learn the basics.... but it's really cool! :D

Wow! Now that is something I could spend some time playing with.
Thanks for that.

Steve

Yes, Steve! That's what I'm doing for hours... it's really amazing! Thanks for stopping by.
Gerlinde

Just what I need...something else to obsess about ha ha :)

Lol - yes! :D But you get amazing results....
And look at my update: I added the URL where you can download it, just in case...

Yep...doin it now.
Thanks for ripping at least 1 more hour from my already sleep deprived nights :)

Your are so welcome, haha! :D
