Making SBS 3D Animation in Blender.

So after long time i have made this tutorial in which you will learn how to make SBS 3D or Side by Side 3D animations using blender only.

Indian style Matchbox - My new Render

Well I wasn't working on any project so when I got some time I made this...
An Indian style Matchbox

First of all the name written on it is in "Gujarati language" "Kapas" it means "Cotton"
And "Gujarati" is my mother tongue.
All textures are custom accept dark brown wood.
Tried to make it real, and the end result even surprised me.
For the lighting there is one area light and 360° hdri image.
The matches in the box are put using rigid body and collision modifier.
1000 Samples, about 37 minutes on CPU i7.
This image remembers me my childhood coz I raised playing with those empty matchboxes, making stuff out of it.
.
So, that's it for the description,
Hope you'll like it.
Happy blending !!!

Rim lit Material

In order to improve my lighting skills, I tried to a material,
and i found that this material is pretty suitable for a rim light application on it.
and here is the result,
I kept it simple as you can see here.

This image taught me !!!

After visiting Chocofur.com i realised that for a better render you must need proper image maps like Diffuse,AO,normal,specular etc.
