So...my hard drive died on February and I'm still trying to find the strength to start over again...it's been tough :( ...and I thought I'd be able to do an entry for this year's BlendingLife challenge..sigh...

  1. dang :( my condolences about that lost HD ..i can imaine hat this is a terrible loss of all the works ,doodles and stuff u made ...harsh crap:(
    Gives me the idea to better save my stuff now and then on separate drives or media.
    Anyhow don'T anger, keep up what you did! You really have a lot of talent and passion for blender, and you made a long way so you can be back and kicking even better than before maybe.
    I seriously withdraw for what happened, since i learned so much from your tutorials and just wanted to say heads up Mr. Roch!!!
    Best regards!

  3. Thanks for the nice words guys! :)

    I didn't care that much about most of the stuff I lost, I had some of my work backed up already and the rest was not that important. But I lost everything I was working on at the moment, and that sucked.

    Sadly enough, a couple of days before the HD stopped working, I was thinking I should take this backing-up-data thing more seriously, and did nothing. I guess I kinda deserved it.

Some days ago, I caught myself ranting while doing a test recording for a tutorial. I've been asked several times to produce a sculpting tutorial, but, since I'm still learning and still trying to figure out a lot of things, always ended up with the feeling that everything I could say has already been said. So, the only point for it would be to talk about the Blender specific topics. But there aren't many things about my work flow that are Blender only. I think I covered all the needed settings and the brushes I use lately with the Onion branch in the following pdf. Click the image to download the file. So, my rant was about how there is all this free knowledge online about sculpting, but, a lot of Blender users seem to neglect it because they only look for Blender tutorials. And that gave me the idea. Publish a list of all the videos and tutorials I've been gathering, and let everyone compile their own build of 'Sculpting with Blender'. Even thoug

Everything should happen in the 3D View Following what I said in my UI proposal some time ago, and with Dyntopo having its options in the Tool Shelf, I've made some adjustments to my default Sculpt layout. Only the 3D View with an open Tool Shelf is needed to start sculpting now, removing even more unnecessary choices and making access to Sculpt Mode in Blender easier. Ctrl+UpArrow shows the full layout which contains the 3D View, an Outliner set to 'visible layers', and the Properties window. With this layout you can sculpt various objects without having to leave Sculpt Mode, selecting them from the Outliner. Here's a demo video of a few objects sculpted with Dyntopo and the current layout: We could switch a few more things to the 3D View to make the two extra windows redundant. Matcap or Material assignment. In past GSOC projects, a Matcap selector was coded and added to the Properties panel of the 3D View. While I liked it, and

Inspired by blender's monkey primitive, I did sculpt a chimpanzee head past week. Hope you all like it. :)
