Sandra Gilbert just announced that the latest edition of BlenderArt Magazine has been released. You can get your copy at BlenderArt Magazine or here [files].
In this issue we take a look at some of the techniques used to create spectacular effects in Blender. With several areas covered such as water, smoke, fire, hair and even realistic skin, you are guaranteed to find a new technique/or tool for your next project.
You are looking for it, it’s just in the wrong place. I’ve been working really hard to get everything up and running once again but sometimes things just take a little while longer. So update your bookmarks and your site links to the new permanent home (well for a long while anyways) for the ID Studios BlenderArt Magazine Mirror. All of the past BlenderArt Magazine issues are available from this post and I’ll try to post all future ones promptly in this category so bookmark it!
Yes, I know! It’s been a very long time since I last posted. For those interested, I’ve been so busy with work, college, and did I mention work!? I’ve been so busy designing the web that I haven’t had time to post any of my work even! Blender has come along and it’s nice to see that this great magazine is still pumping out a bunch of great tutorials. Somewhere in all of this chaos I’m going to have to try some of them out…
The BlenderArt magazine Issue #11 is available to download! The main theme for this number is Mechanical, which gives us 60 pages of art and tutorials about modeling and rendering techniques, for creating mechanical models in Blender. If you ever wanted to use Blender as a CAD modeling software, this might be your change to learn some nice tricks for modeling with precision.
It’s a great day for the Blender community and for anyone who loves organic modelling. This issue is all about organic stuff. So get your mouse ready and learn how to model everything from faces to frogs. The cover features the amazing work of Enrico Cerica and the gallery features other quality work by such people as Plant Person.
The community magazine BlenderArt Magazine has published their ninth issue. In this issue they have tutorials and articles on “space”. With over 60 pages it is quite the read!Here’s what Sandra Gilbert has to say about this release: (more…)

Yes, that’s right the Anniversary edition of Blender Art Magazine #7 was published today and it featured three of my articles submitted to the magazine along with one picture which was published. It’s not everyday that you get published let alone three times, so I’m really quite excited. I’m glad that they found a use for them and I hope that the information on Glow, DOF, and Compositor Nodes helps a Blenderhead down the road!
BlenderNation writer Daniel LaBarge recently had a chance to sit down and talk with Sandra Gilbert (DreamsGate) of BlenderArt Magazine to discuss her interests in Blender and a retrospective on the magazine which she manages. The interview covers everything from her beginning in Blender to what suggestions she offer for others interested in producing a digital magazine. (more…)
This is the sequel to my Crazy Face Animation Tests post a few weeks ago. I’ve been busy working on articles for BlenderNation and BlenderArt Magazine and have been reviewing various methods of creating cartoon compositions in Blender. I set out to prove that Blender can be used entirely as a 2D compositor and not just 3D tool. The results were, well, not the impressive but an ok animation was created from it!
