The participants of TOSMI 2010, Advanced Blender session, are very close to finishing their project, getting their certificates and partying like crazy!
Check out this video from the lecture about Compositing – passes and layers, from the 25th August, the third day of the Advanced Blender session of TOSMI 2010.
Check out this video of the introduction into animation, done by Bassam Kurdali and Mancandy (his own test 3D model). Bassam shows the capabilities of Blender by making Mancandy do various things.
The fourth day of TOSMI 2010, Advanced Blender session is almost over. Today the trainees learned even more about Compositing, with a focus on passes and layers. After that they went even deeper into Rigging setups, learning clever tricks, like reverse foot setup, stretchy rigs and more.
This is the introduction to the Advanced Blender course of TOSMI 2010.

The third day of the second course of TOSMI 2010 is ongoing right now. The trainers gave lectures about Lighting, Shading, Rendering and Compositing. Again many, advanced, difficult, but extremely important things. Yet another hard day for the trainers and trainees.

After coming to Bulgaria as lecturers and trainers at TOSMI 2010 (Training in Open Source Multimedia Instruments), three of the most talented and pronounced Blender 3D artists will make a public presentation at the Cinema House in Sofia.
During the 24th of August (Day 2 of Advanced Blender course) the trainers gave a lecture about animation (an introduction to it) using Mancandy (a humanoid model, created by Bassam Kurdali). After that they did a simple exercise ( Mancandy pushes a cube), object and pose animation, graph editor, dope sheet/action editor, keyframing and transformations. Quite a lecture!
But that’s not all! After that the trainees were introduced to the basics in Rigging, as well as Modifiers and Constraints. And finally the trainees started work on their projects.
Yesterday was the first day of the second course of TOSMI 2010 – Advanced Blender. The trainers and trainees introduced themselves and some of their works, the trainers introduced Blender 2.5 and Subversion and gave a brief on the schedule of the course. After that the trainees were introduced to their projects – they will make a very complex and high quality 3D shot (about 3-6 seconds long), which they can after that use in their portfolios. Also the trainees were split into two teams – team Strawberry and team Cherry (names, specially requested by trainee Luciano Sessarego).
