[TUTORIAL] Creating a place of mind - Scifi-Meshes.com

**Zabiegly** · 02-13-2007, 12:35 AM

I just recently have been ask to become a member of staff again. Maybe some of you remember that I was member of staff from when SciFi-Meshes was founded but retired about a year ago as my life was quite busy. So now I'm back and this time I'm not a Moderator but a Sensei.

And as Senseis are supposed to share their 3d knowledge with the community here is a quite extensive tutorial I wrote (12 pages, over 5.700 words). OK, I didn't write it because I became Sensei here but because a quite well known italian Cinema4d webpage asked me to (they are also publishing a printed magazine and that was another treat).

The tutorial deals with the whole project of creating a 3d environment like the one in my Place of Mind image.

click this image for the tutorial - PDF format - 6 Mb (high resolution images in the pdf, zoom to 600% to view images)

I hope you enjoy this beast.

Wow...

Usually i don't follow tutorials made for other apps, but this looks fantastic!

Nice work Zabiegly

Ill post my thoughts once i have read it through.

Thanks - I'd like to mention that it's not application specific. The thoughts and concepts apply to pretty much every application.

I thought that image looked familiar - Blender is big in Spain and Italy and I end up hitting a lot of Spanish / Italian web-pages that are non-Blender oriented just as a matter of course - I didn't realise that it was your tutorial.

Really nice to see it here on SFM.

this is really going to help me. I'm just learning Lightwave so I can use this, thanks.

This tutorial will be a great help for a little project I'm working on, especially the texturing part

Thanks a lot for posting it!
