Welcome to another motion graphics quick tip! This time we are looking at a basic overview of the moving slices effect in Blender. You can often find this effect in slideshows and transitions. It looks best when combined with some animation in the textures, be it scaling or moving them. This tip uses NLA tracks to
Last time we replicated the Mayfair filter in Krita. Today we go colder with the Nashville filter. Nashville gives your images low contrast, high exposure and subtle warm tint mixed with cool blueish colors. This filter is far harder than Mayfair so brace yourself for all of these 3 steps. Add a new Filter Layer and select
2D motion graphics aren’t the domain of After Effects alone, Blender is becoming more and more capable as a mograph tool. In this quick tip I’ll show you how to make a simple popping effect (sometimes called Circle Burst). This is an updated video version of one of the first tutorials I posted on this site. This is
So you have finished your newest Blender masterpiece, or have a photo that you wish could look better? How about an Instagram filter right in Krita? Today we will look at how we can replicate Mayfair. This filter has a warm, pink tone with subtle vignetting. I’m also adding a bit of grain that wasn’t in the original
The time has finally come. Mirage 3.4 is out today! The highlight of this release is the new terrain engine. It’s been a while, hasn’t it? This has probably been the longest time between releases, but there’s a good reason for the delay! Mirage 3.4 comes with a new terrain engine completely rewritten in Rust for top-performance. I’ve
It’s release time! Render+ 2.1 is now out. This version comes with several small quality of life improvements. I’m trying to smaller, more frequent releases moving forward. This way you can get bug fixes and small improvements faster instead of waiting until I implement some big feature. Let’s look at the changes in this version Debug
In this super quick tip we’ll see how to calculate the distance between two points. The formula for Euclidean distance in 3D is the following: There’s at least three ways to do this in Blender. The classic way The benefit of this snippet is that it will always be available. It doesn’t depend on a specific
Fractal noise is a well-known effect in After Effects. Probably one of the most used too, it’s versatile enough to create all kinds of effects. Users coming to Blender from an After Effects background might be wondering if there’s a similar effect or at least some way to animate noise. Let’s see how we can replicate it
I recently reworked Mirage’s live mode to be more efficient. One of the things I wanted to improve was detecting changes in terrain settings. I figured the best way to do it was getting a dictionary of the settings and finding what changed in it. So I wrote a little function to get all the properties inside a PropertyGroup as a dictionary.
