At Studio Lumikuu we created a short film for 3Dconnexion. The idea is to promote the new Blender 3D-mouse integration, which was announced at Siggraph 2011.

I will upload the film on our site soon enough, but for now you can watch it on the 3Dconnexion site, or on youtube:

I haven’t painted on canvas for a long time, but recently had a great opportunity to do so. At a local fair, held last weekend, I worked on another dog-painting, and here’s the result!

Made on canvas with Wicked Colors - I used my own mix of browns.

Bright colors using Wicked Colors opaque white as base, and Createx Transparents for coloring. All freehand as usual.

In preparation for a bigger project, I made a short animation for trying out one of the character rigs. The rig in question is a slightly modified version of the famous Big Buck Bunny rig by the Blender Foundation, which can be downloaded at http://www.bigbuckbunny.org.

I had a few problems importing this rig into Blender 2.5, mainly with a bunch of non-working constraints. It doesn’t work perfectly yet, but I’ll continue to improve it, and hopefully we can release a fully working Blender 2.5 version of the BBB rig soon enough.

Blender 2.5 can be downloaded at http://www.blender.org.

A quick small-scale project: an iPhone cover.

Done completely freehand as an exercise.
