More fancy 3D book covers

Here comes another tutorial work in progress:

I wanted to create a fancy 3D book cover like I did in Gimp (See this blog post) but this time I wanted to use blender, the open source and free 3D modeling and rendering software.

You can see the result as a 3D camera fly-around on youTube.

Fancy 3D eBook Cover (Workflow in progress - final)

I know that I was lazy these days with the creation of background music for my video tutorial. But now, after I got all important work off my desk, I could finish the 3D eBook cover video for Gimp that I have shown you here and here and as a raw cut here.

You can now watch it on mindbites.com for a small fee of $2.97.

Beware of google scam mails

I just received this e-mail on one of my gmail accounts. It's obviously a scam so DO NOT send your password back as a reply. I sent it right into the spam folder, so hopefully not many people will see it, but just in case ...

New species found: the oxabeaver

Ok, this is not a serious post, it's just a short test for my upcoming SEO workshop on WizIQ. Anyway, I need to announce that a new species has been found. It's named the "oxabeaver" and it can be found in north America. The oxabeaver has been seen only once in a valley near a small town in Wisconsin called "Gimp Valley".

The oxabeaver is extremely shy, about 4 feet long and a very good swimmer.

Fancy 3D eBook Cover (Workflow in progress 4)

Over Easter I did not do much productive work.

Today I added my voice over from the original script to the tutorial. What I now need as a final touch is a background music loop.

Here is another version of the raw cut with voice over:
