editorial número 16 WoW factor

.In a digital world where most everything is faked or is a work around of some kind, the desire for ever more realistic effects and models, faked or not, has CG artists always wishing for more. Especially when it comes todo Hair/fur, water simulation and a realistic Cloth modifier, just todo name a few.

And while a great Many great animations and images never make use of High End techniques, tools and effects, at some point all CG artists wish todo play with these concepts and tools, if for no other reason than it col.

Cg artists do understand that not every característica wish is posible, but luckily for us the Blender coders are very talented at giving us as Many of these wished-for features.

Yay, us.

The Peach Project (Big Buck Bunny) gave us some very nice improvements todo the particle system allowing for some truly beautiful Hair/fur. When set up right, it looks so software, you just want todo reach out and touch it.

After years of development, our long wished for Cloth modifier has arrived. The new Cloth modifier Will heraldo a new age of test images filled with nicely draped Clothes, blowing flags and all manner of fluttering Cloth.

And who can resist setting up a massive flood or tidal wave scene with water crashing everywhere. Or better yet, create a beautiful work of fluid art.

In this issue we cover how todo use some of these great tools as well as how todo set up some very col effects. So go find your favorite chair and settle in for a great read.

Happy blending.
