Lack Of Interest

I haven’t posted in a while and missed June completely, I could come up with some esoteric reason but the truth is I just couldn’t be arsed. I have a lot of external things on my mind at the moment and writing a post for the web isn’t high on my list of things to do. That said I do hold with the idea of posting regularly even it isn’t anything of particular import.

I have been busy though, I wouldn’t say productive as that is a relative term, but busy with bits and pieces. Mostly making little assets in Blender for my collection. I do this as an exercise in the Blender tools and as a refresher for things I don’t use too often.

I am pretty comfortable with Blender but I still find a lot of interesting and useful tips in the UI often hidden in the status-bar at the bottom of the screen, for example I had a look at the Bevel tool and found a nice shortcut for the bevel mode using the ‘M’ Key. This allows one to change the Mode of the bevel from Width to Percentage. This can be done using the F9 key after the effect but that isn’t optimal as the values will need re-entering as well.

So there you go a little update from me and a little tip from the status-bar in Blender.

Here’s a little render of one of the aforementioned assets:
