Foley it up

Hey all!
This week's vlog!

GOD is so awesome!!!

- Bokeh blur
This was an interesting addition to the new defocus node I was not expecting! I saw a render in the banner on BlenderNation and really felt led to add the Bokeh effect to it. You can check out the render I am talking about here.

I talk more about the differences between the two in the video, but the main differences between the two is the way it blurs. The blur node is a very soft, very even blur, while the bokeh and other blurs...

Altar aid

Hey all!

This week's vlog!!

GOD is so awesome!

- A Quiet week
This week I spent very little time on Exodus. Not tons less than usual, but I just got to spend some time on other stuff as well. Even mowed the grass for the probably last time this season! This week will hopefully have a lot more than just more visual aid! :D

- The 430 years puzzle
Now this was interesting! I was lying in bed on Saturday and GOD brought this up with me, as I was reading Galatians again and was specifically at c...

Hey all!

This weeks vlog!!

GOD is so amazing!

- 7 days passing and other plagues
I don't recall having spoken about this in a previous vlog, but since we're on the screenplay and storyboards phase, with some experimentation and even final renders, I do find this to be a bit of an issue. We only have a single indication of how long a plague lasted and that is in the last verse of chapter 7 which reads:

"And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had smitten the river." Exodus 7:25, KJV

Animation and sound effects

Posted by Marius Oberholster on Thursday, March 10, 2016, In : WIP

Hey all!

Today's update takes a bit of a different route. I'm actually gonna let you watch everything I've been graced to put together so far - not fullHD, as that takes significantly longer and this took long enough to upload last night so I can actually share it, hahaha.

So, here is everything put together so far:

(Only 01:08, so it's a quick watch)

Now let's get into what went into this, hahaha.

Animation challenges and tips:

- Make sure your models are complete before rendering.

Sounds kinda duh...

The king's room

Posted by Marius Oberholster on Thursday, February 18, 2016, In : WIP

Hey all!

Time for the weekly update!

This week, the focus has been on the king's room. For me, this is incredibly difficult, because I find no info on traditional Persian interiors. I do know that they did do a lot of things the same way as the Indians did - lots of arches, pillows, low to the floor furniture, etc., but honestly, I don't know to what extent this is the case, so I have to follow peace and ironically, it has made for quite a modern appearance.

Additionally, since the first time we...

Render times and progress

Posted by Marius Oberholster on Thursday, January 28, 2016, In : General

Hey all!

Super excited to be sharing with you guys the progress from the last week. Passed few days have not been the most productive, but ironically, the focus was in a different direction this week, but you'll see on that later.

- Verse Image -
First, I felt lead to make use of the project and it's assets to create this week's verse image and I really liked the result. Because my hosting is not that big, I'm trying to limit the content I post, so I'm simply linking to the Cross Allegiance pa...

Update time

Posted by Marius Oberholster on Wednesday, January 20, 2016, In : General

Hey all!

As you've noticed, I've been a bit quiet. It's not because I haven't been working, but because GOD suggested that I update less. I was really frustrated because of the time it takes to write these so often - I like keeping you guys up to date, just not every 5mins, hahaha. If I do, the project takes significantly longer than it needs to, so, here is the first gapped update :)!

Okay, let's start with the coolest things GOD showed me that make this project even possible:

1) Particles:
As y...

Compositing in order WIP

Posted by Marius Oberholster on Tuesday, January 12, 2016, In : WIP

Good day everyone!

Today is nothing super fancy. I just get to share an update on Mordecai and Haman going through the city street. In this case, I stuck pillars in, so there would be something casting shadows on them too (you can see it on Mordecai's shoulder). The goal is to go for unusual contrast and a painterly look. I like the result though.

Still a long way to go

For more info on this particular method of compositing smooth shadows with toon shading, check out my tutorial for Blender Rend...
