@r4jk3 Good point :D

I have a question, it keeps on slipping away from me. 2:34 How do I do that, I don't want a bunch of don't and faces to select. Thanks.

[Kiliankoe]

@alexvasilenko14 If you're selecting faces, and not vertices (If I get this correct), you can just switch that with the buttons in the menu or the hotkeys Ctrl+Tab+1, 2 and 3. Use those and see what buttons in the menu toggle, that way I don't have to explain exactly where they are.

Hey, great video man. I used your method to help model a Boeing 737 that I'm using in a video game trailer. Keep it up man. I'd like to see you do one on UV Mapping sometime. Message me on this account and I'll give you my email

[Mike2008and2008]

AHHHH SSoooooooooo! Thanks Man ......That works well!

[Kiliankoe]

@Mike2008and2008 I'm glad that you find it useful :)

Hey do you know how to combine two diffrent objects into one single one?? so its all in one edit mode.

[Kiliankoe]

Sorry, I forgot the exact method. I think Y was the hotkey for splitting to objects though.

Nevertheless you should find a solution on the forum at blenderartists.

@ituber23 I think it's Ctrl-C

[bobi2020]

[Kiliankoe]

In the Worlds button there is a thing called Ambient occlusion and if you turn it on and set samples to at least 6 your renderings will look a lot better.

[Kiliankoe]

ambient occlusion is a great thing, but you don't always want to use it. It usually more than doubles your rendering times (depending on your settings) and sometimes ruins the style you were going for. But only sometimes.

[301million]

yeah, it takes for ever to render with it on my macbook pro. I did a pretty sweet carpet texture in blender using the default textures. But I max out the Ambient occlusion it looks really good though.

[301million]

PS: I played around with textures and stuff, and you said you'd like to see what people get, would you like me to post a vid showing what I got?

[Kiliankoe]

Of course I'd like to see your result!

And yes, ambient occlusion (or global illumination, as it's sometimes called) does look fantastic on a lot of projects. I also love using it, but only on the final render :P

[301million]

yeah, i'll upload my stuff in few minutes

[301million]

hey man I uploaded my rendering, you should check it out. It's on my profile. It's like the only video. lol Tell me what you think.

[heshoots9999]

hi i know its a bit off topic but can you put videos onto objects

[Kiliankoe]

It's not that offtopic...

I guess it must be possible somehow, but unfortunately I don't know how. Maybe you can head on over to the blenderartists forum. There's bound to be people there who can help you.

[heshoots9999]

thanks for the help anyways

[301million]

hey dude how to do have like smooth trasition between the assigned materials?

[Kiliankoe]

A smooth transition? That's best acchieved with UV mapping. It's a completely different way of applying textures, but with a whole lot more possibilities.

Unfortunately I've never done it in Blender, only other programs. You should find something about it on the blenderartists forum though.
