  • Hi there,

    Just a Newb question: Do you need any other system like After Effects to run blender software? And does this run for PC or Mac?

    Thanks!

  • @tubernery Blender is completely stand alone software. You don't need after effects or anything else! It's open source and completely free and completely legal for all to download and use. They have it available for Pc, Mac, Linux, and even freeBSD. This is why I started doing more Blender tutorials instead of After Effects... because blender is available to more people who want to learn. Download and enjoy! Welcome to the Blender community!

  • So, can you do this with an imported image instead of making text in Blender?

  • @cyrax037 yes and no. You wouldn't be able to do this with, say an image mapped to a plane. However, if you were to use either curve or box modeling to create a 3D version of this imported image, then absolutely YES you could do this! If your having trouble with curve or box modeling, check out my channel and the "back to the basics" series. That should help get you started. Happy Blending!

  • I jus want to know how to make more than on name go this way through your screen or do i just have to repeat the same thing over and over again or is there a more simple way to do this superman type intro?

  • SUPERMAN!

  • what is a good program to use an opening?

  • @firechildc I Hae A Dumb Question How To Go To The Top Screen

  • How do you play the final render?

  • Sorry, never mind. Just read about fps and number of frames per clip. Funny how much you can learn by research and trial & error :)

  • Whew..I finally was able to render the animation. Is there a way to control the speed? The clip finishes after about 00:00:01, is there a way to slow down the clip so it lasts longer..perhaps 2-3 seconds long?

  • @ZliisHy23 Yes, exactly. How do you get the text to face the camera 100%..

  • @ZliisHy23 Hi, Did you ever figure out the camera view? I'm stuck here as well using my macbook. I used "View - Cameras - Set Active Object As Camera", but the camera is still at an angle, instead of facing down directly at the object (in this case, the Frchildc" object).

    also, you probably know already, but I found the fonts in the "Library/Fonts" instead of "System/Library/Fonts" folder.
