New Sci-Fi Tutorials


Listening to my daughter and her friends bang pots and pans at the stroke of midnight. Going outside (again with daughter and friends and wife), digging a hole and burning private 'Bad Fairy' notes from last year, then burying them. Creating a Sci-Fi model and scene tutorial using the free version of Vue 7 Pioneer. All these represent my New Years Eve...how was yours?

Here's a speed render completed with instruction in around 37 minutes and broken into 3 different tutorials. 

The first tute is a quick primer to learn some basics about Pioneer (it's 11 min and not included in the 37). I think it may have some useful content for non-novices as well.

The second tute shows a quick and dirty way to create a spaceship model in Pioneer, which can be saved and loaded into other scenes as well.

The third tute pulls it all together by creating a scene with a building, and adding some metablob characters and knocking out a rendering. 

The goal of these three tutes is to show what can be done with ONLY Vue 7 Pioneer and no other products. All textures are created from the filters which come with Pioneer. Hope you enjoy! 

Sorry about the audio-- it's a bit muddy at times, but hopefully it won't get too much in the way of understanding what's going on.

Oh, and by the way-- here's the final Vue Scene file-- just in case you want to try it out yourself (or better yet, grab the metablob figures and/or building).
