Here’s a very quick breakdown of a short video of a man taking off using a jet-pack. The only thing that’s real is the man himself. Green-screens and creative Blender work was used to produce the rest.

Courtesy the hard work of programmers during the 2013 Google Summer of Code, here’s a timelapse of the testing of improvements to Blender’s Texture Paint tool.

Here’s a neat little timelapse that demonstrates some basic modeling and compositing features of Blender 3D.

As a beekeeper, I’m supposed to really dislike this wasp. It’s one of several predators that can give colonies a hard time. But I can’t help but admit the beauty of this creature. This time-lapse pays homage to this deadly but lovely wasp as it is modeled, textured, rigged and rendered in Blender 2.66 and Cycles.

Here’s another brilliant timelapse video, the modeling of an alien bust using Blender’s sculpt tools, as well as texture-painting the model directly.
