More animato tests

Hi all sorry for no new stuff as there really hasn't been anything to show, but withGSoC on the way and much more 2.5 stuff i'll be pretty busy :)

yesterday Joshua Leung (Aligorith) finished his animation work in that we can now keyframe everything :) he also brought back the anim button that went walkabout :)

so here are a couple tests, 1 for animated AAO the second is Animated SSS by animating the radiuses and the third is animating the locations of colour ramp elements

Editing Styles

last night ton commited the possibility to edit UI styles, being the ui properties of the UI elements, and its more then just colour its whether they are shaded, colour when selected, gradient rates

anyway here is a picture of my darling little red theme :)

Blender2.5 Tour V

After much demand....and annoyance :P i have made another tour of blender 2.5

this mainly covers the animation improvments, and some UI changes as there isn't much else to cover (i'll do a post on etch-a-ton next week if time permits)

anyway here ya go, I present Blender2.5 tour #5

Some more animato Fun

since there really is nothing to show, i thought i would try animato seriously
so the following video is me trying to get an effect of a lone light in a room swing ing around and give a nice creepy feeling. i think i did it pretty well.




Here are the Fcurves used, all curves have atleast 1 generator modifier, energy has 2 sine curves
