Rendering with Ambient Occlusion - Blender 3D tutorial

Category: Blender 3D tutorials > Effects - Difficulty:

This supplement to Part 3 brings into focus features introduced in earlier lessons. This is the result of feedback from several users regarding usage of elements touched upon previously in the series, and makes clear some nifty elements left out of Parts 1-3, such as the Bounding Box Pivot Mode, and a powerful shortcut to using Loop Cut.

In this short tutorial, we'll take a look at how you can use Blender to create text outline effects. Our goal will be to have the text appear as two-dimensional printed text as opposed to 3D text. After viewing this tutorial and studying the included references, you will be able to: * Add text to a Blender scene and change its font * Setup a camera to render a scene orthogonally * Create a window to display your rendered scene using the Image Editor * Gain control of the bevel of a curve object * Control the anti-aliasing of your rendered scene using the OSA filters * Create a text outline effect * Remove shadows and lighting from an object's material and more...

It is sometimes said that traditional illusions are all just 'smoke and mirrors'. In the digital world things are never that simple, but we can replicate the mirror effect with a few simple commands in Blender, giving us unique illusions of depth and complexity.
