I’ve had an itch for some time now to try making a screencast/tutorial. As I was working in blender recently on a logo, it occurred to me that I’d never seen a tutorial on the exact technique I was using, and that it would be worth sharing. So here’s my first shot. Please let me know what you think!
Using 3D Elements Outside Blender from Bill Knechtel on Vimeo.
Learn how I use blender to create 3D elements destined for use in web & print designs. We’ll cover creating a logo in Adobe Illustrator, bringing it into Blender for conversion to 3D and rendering (using an HDRI lighting technique), then bringing the resultant renders into Adobe Photoshop for use in a web site and a business card.
