Learn Make Fluffy Fur

I recently see and learn the tutorial, I follow the tutorial is "How to Make Fluffy Fur" by Belnder Guru. This is interesting. My render setting is 1920 x 1080, 300 samples, render time used 1 hours 15 min. And also I add compositing in the render result.

This is my result.
最近我看到并学习一个tutorial,我是照着 Blender Guru的Tutorial "How to Make Fluffy Fur"做,这蛮有趣的。我的渲染设置是1920 x 1080,300 samples,渲染时间用了1个小时15分钟。同时我在渲染结果添加了Compositing。


In the 3D view, I think my computer performance, so I set the Children's Display is 50, and the Render I tried set the value is 200. 

在3D view里,我考虑到我电脑的性能,因此我设置Children的Display为50,而Render的部分我尝试设置为200。

This is set of the compositing node.
Before to add compositing node.
I add the Blur's Gaussian (the X and Y value is 10) let the image noise didn't obvious, and the mixColor node is I want to avoid to the effect is too blurry. But the result is not ideal. Then I add the Glare's Fog Glow is create the fur have glow effect, and let the result is look softer. 

我介入Blur的Guassian(X和Y的value为10)让图例的noise不要太明显,同时mixColor node是我想要避免效果他模糊。但是这个效果并不理想。然后我添加Glare的Fog Glow是做出毛有glow的效果,并让结果看起来更柔和。

#Number Series - Personal Project #001.2 (W.I.P) - Sphere Animation


Hi everyone. I will talk about how I create the sphere animation, and also comparison of the PP#001's sphere animation and PP#001.2's sphere animation difference.

In the PP#001, I'm not satisfied with the sphere animation. This is not fully achieve my concept idea. So I will have want to improve and reboot the PP#001.2.


Hi 大家好。我会将我如何做这个球体的animation。同时比较PP#001的球体Animation和PP#001.2的球体Animation的分别。

在PP#001里,我并不满意这个球体的Animation。这个并没有完整实现的概念想法。于是才会有了想改进而重启的PP#001.2

Learn Convert Video to Animated GIF

The sphere animation test record to the video in PP#001.2. I need covert video to animated gif for my blog, but Gimp has not the feature. Therefore I used Photoshop CS6 make an animated gif.

I follow this tutorial make an animated gif. This is easy to use. I remember the PS CS6's Timeline UI look like my first used another software make an animated in junior high school. 

If have need to covert video to animated gif to next, I will try to find an open-source software make an it. 


在PP#001.2的球体动画测试录下的视频。我需要把视频convert成animated gif给我的blog,但是Gimp没有这个功能,因此我就用Photoshop CS6制作animated gif。

我跟着这个tutorial制作animated gif。这很方便使用。我记得这个PS CS6的Timeline的界面很像我在初中时首次做的animated gif所用的软件。

若下次有需要convert视频制作成animated gif,我会尝试找开源软件来制作。

#Number Series - Personal Project #001.2 (W.I.P) - Dynamic Paint


Hello everybody. The test is simple sphere's dyeing black color effect. This is use Dynamic Paint achieve PP#001 original concept idea. I has explain this purpose in last post.  

Hello大家好。这个测试是球体的染黑效果,是用Dynamic Paint实现PP#001原本的概念想法。我上次有解释过这个测试的目的。

Learn And Make an Animated GIF

Hi everyone, this is share my experience of learn and make an animated gif. I remember my first make an animated gif in junior high school. I was used another old software to make. I forget the software name. Now, I try use ope-source software make an animated gif.

Hi 大家好,这是分享我学习和制作Animated Gif的经验。我记得我第一次做的animated gif是在我初中的时候,当时是用别的软件来做。我已经忘记这软件的名字。现在我尝试使用开源软件来制作animated gif。


In the animated GIF, I had intended is tried use Natron make animated gif. From the start have floundered. The folder name has "#" , and Natron will read this is a frame by frame, so input the sequence have error. Another problem is render output, the gif format's codec need choose WriteOIIO, and I write the file name is XOO_XXX_001. A problem caused by render output will read the file name is only one frame. 

Then, I think before the "#" name will read frame by frame. However, this is success to tried write the file name is XOO_XXX_001_#. But the result is one by one gif image. I go to search official Natron Forum, just known Natron haven't support animated gif.

I give up use Natron make an animated gif. Then, first I want to try use Krita make an animated gif, but I don't know can or not. After choose Gimp make an animated gif, this is very easy to do. I follow step by step in the tutorial, this is very useful and easy!


我本来打算尝试使用Natron来做Animated gif。一开始就处处碰壁,若folder的名字里带有“#”,就会被读取为Frame By Frame,因此输入的Sequence发生error的状况。另外一个问题就是Render Output,gif格式的codec需要选择WriteOIIO,还有我写的输出文件名为XOO_XXX_001。造成的问题是Render Output读取为一张。

接着,我想到之前名字有“#”会读取为Frame By Frame,于是尝试把文件名写成XOO_XXX_001_#并成功。但结果是一张一张的gif图。我去搜索官方的Natron论坛,才知道Natron并没有支持Animated gif。

放弃了使用Natron做animated gif,。一开始想用Krita尝试做animated gif,但不是很清楚行不行。之后就选择了Gimp来做animated gif,非常简单做出来了。我是跟着这个Tutorial的步骤做,非常有用且简单!

#Number Series - Personal Project #001.2 (W.I.P) - Black Particle


Hi everyone~ This is PP#001 original idea, the black particle will adhere the sphere and dyeing black color. I use a simple sphere and plane mesh testing the concept idea.

Hi 大家好~ 这是我在PP#001原本的想法,黑色粒子会附粘在这球体上并染成黑色。我用了基本的球体和平面的Mesh来测试这个概念想法。

#Number Series - Personal Project #001.2 (W.I.P) - Compositing 01


Hi, everyone. The Personal Project #001.2 is improved version of Personal Project #001. If you want to see PP#001, you can go to here. 

Hi,大家好。这个Personal Project #001.2是Personal Project #001的改良版,若你想看PP#001,可以去这里观看。


This is used Sazunne Mesh test my create the material shader node and compositing node for PP#001.2.

这是我使用Suzanne Mesh来测试我做的Shader Node和Compositing Node。



I tried create one or more for render test.I want to see overall result of the render, and also learning how to achieve result to use node. I did a lot of Shader Node in before, and this is a great experience. 

I tried use Compositing Node in PP#001.2, the compositing effect is not bad. I think the Node System of Blender is easy to digest to learn and use. 

我尝试做一个或更多的Render Test。看整体画面的感觉如何,同时也是在学习如何使用Node实现效果。Shader Node在之前已经做了很多次的尝试,这是很棒的经验。

在PP#001里我尝试使用Compositing Node,做出来的效果挺不错。Blender的Node System挺简单消化且容易用。

Learn to do Ink Drop Effect

I recently saw a tutorial is use smoke simulator create the ink drop in water effect. That is look great, and I want to make this. As a result of my computer performance's limit to make the result didn't so ideal. But this is start of considered a good. :)

最近我看到一个tutorial,里面的使用烟雾模拟做了ink drop的效果,看起来棒极了,也想做一个看看。结果由于电脑性能的问题,做出来的效果没有这么理想,但算是一个不错的起步 :)


I first look result of the tutorial is feel be excited. Because I want to make the smoke effect look like a dimensional sense. I has seen the smoke effect look like flag and not dimensional sense. 

Actually, this is my first use smoke simulator in blender. I encountered a major difficulty in making on the way. I want to use smoke cache but I can't be use. I search the problem in internet, I couldn't find it. At the night of second day, I know the smoke cache take effect need to save file. 

I make this set the Divisions is 64 with Resolution in Domain. Before that I follow tutorial set the Divisions is 256, and baked at second day. Then, I make the shader node on the way, Blender is automatic close (and also I forget save file :/ ). This show I want to achieve the quality in my computer performance is not enough.

Anyway good, this is nice experience. :D

最初看到这个tutorial的效果时感到兴奋。因为我一直想做的smoke效果是很有立体感的,但过去我所看到的smoke效果给我感觉很平面。

实际上这是我第一次使用Blender的Smoke Simulator。在制作途中遇到一个大难关,到了要使用Smoke Cache的时候,怎样都无法使用。上网调查这个问题,一直找不着。直到第二天晚上突然找到一个影片,才知道原来要Save File才能生效。

我做的这个在Domain的resolution中,Divisions设置是64,之前跟着tutorial设置256,bake放置到第二天。接着在处理Shader Node的时候Blender自动强制关闭(当时忘了Save),由此可见我的电脑性能要实现这样的品质还不足够。

不管怎样都好,这是个不错的经验。 :D
