tippy tips...

look what i found as i was surfing around: a shattering tutorial! i was amazed by the quality of the cube shattering. the free version of the plugin doesn't work, though.

sorry, non-cg folks:) tune in soon for more babblings...

let's visit an old pal

remember way back, when i mentioned this 'really nice plugin for modelling 3d plants'? well, it is now officially safe for me to say that i didn't use it. i didn't like the outcome, so i made my olive tree grow by hand. one keyframe after another. you bet it was tiring. but not as tiring as trying to fix the awkward forms the plugin has provided me. maybe i was a lousy user; maybe you can do fantastic things with it. but i wasn't patient enough to make it work. (xfrog, please don't sue me)...

here is my 'xfrog' olive tree...
and here is my version. what do you think?

vegetables are good for you

i found this really nice plant plugin for 3d, it's called xfrog. great for growing trees, plants, flowers, trees in wind, forests etc. offers great solutions! hope it comes handy when someday you need it...

i tried to install the trial version, but somehow i couldn't manage to make it work. does anybody know how to do it? no matter how hard i try, i can't set it right. if i can, i will post some 'results' here.

do you need doing plants in your 3d work too?
