"Valentyne" was created for the Blending Life 2 contest. The objective was to create a realistic-looking human using Blender.

This tutorial will teach how how to make such a realistic looking character. The steps are not very detailed, so advanced knowledge of Blender is required.

If you ever wanted to know how to mix smoke of different colors in Blender 2.5, here's a simple howto. This is the first part of my series of tutorials for Nion's excellent Blender effects.
The effect is based around a voxel data texture whith the heat values of the the smoke as source. This tutorial assumes that you are already familiar with the smoke simulation in Blender 2.5. You can also download the finished blendfile.

Many times, objects contain numerous attributes that define how they look, and they're not always perfectly uniform in relation to the object. For example, a used paint can would have paint dripping down the sides of the can—if we were creating this can in 3D, we'd have to tell Blender that there is a specific spot on our 3D mesh that contains different attributes than the rest of the mesh.

This is where UV mapping comes in handy. UV coordinates are, in simple terms, a two-dimensional representation of the texture coordinates of a three-dimensional object. They allow us to tell Blender specific properties about specific areas of our objects in a scene.

In this tutorial we're going to talk about creating custom textures for our scene and how to bring them into Blender. We will learn how to create a custom UV map and texture for an object in our interior scene.
