Tutorial: Chess - Part 1: Board

For some time now I've been meaning to make a chessboard in Cinema. So I'm using these tutorials as an excuse to actually make one. The board will be easy to create, hard to texture. The Pieces will be harder to make but easy to texture. So let's get in it. It'll be a long post due to the textures, but that's not a big deal I hope. 1 - place a Cube as start. This'll become our board. 2 - Change the numbers as set on the picture. 500 for the...

Setup: Day Five

I've decided not to do Twitter for now. There's no need for it yet. I'll make it for sure, more for easy Q&A's. If it's not necessary at all, even better! Then I somehow do a good job at explaining stuff. Two days ago I made a Disclaimer page as well, it's on the right side. Just a necessary legal thing for copyright and whatnot. Always good to have. As for Tutorials, I've decided to do one or two tutorials per week, depending on which it is. They can take a long time to make and prepare, and I don't have all day to work either. If this...

Setup: Day Four

The beginning is pretty much in sight! I've set up a Facebook page and changed more things on the site directly, namely the slider. I placed my own renders in there, and will keep updating this with newer and better renders as, of course, I am learning more and more as well. I believe all that's left to do is put up a disclaimer, as I do wish to protect what is mine obviously. Which is a tutorial I'm making as well, Watermarks. I'm still thinking about making a Twitter. No I do not have one yet and I never had the intent to make one. I am only...

Setup: Day Three

So for today I've created a FAQ, Tag Examples and Business mail. I'm thinking about doing a Twitter as well, for easy contact, but I'm not sure on that yet. I'm working on a Facebook page but since I do want it to look decent, I haven't set it up yet. The setup phase is nearly finished. I'll try to change the carousel tomorrow, gotta decide which I'd put in. Once that's all done I'll prepare several tutorials. This might take a few days though. Tutorials do take ti...

The post where I introduce myself

So the post where I introduce myself. Long story short, I wont be going in full detail about my personal life. There's no reason for that. I'm Leon, 21 years of age at this moment. I'm a nerdy gamer type I suppose. Majored in Visual Designing, mainly aimed at 3D Modelling. Thus this blog. I'm planning to make tutorials for everyone out there as I learned that those are simply the best way to learn the programs. By simply doing it. At the start those will be mostly in print-screens with texts (sorry) but I hope to find and buy a good screen recording...

Setup: Day two

I'm getting the hang back for HTML coding. It's so messy. As of this post I've managed to link all my socials to the blog. Vimeo, Facebook, my Portfolio... I'll change the Facebook later to a personal page, which will be a lot easier to maintain. Probably will do that this weekend as well, but this'll work for the time being. Right now I'm thinking "What else can I chance right now?" which is surprisingly hard to decide. Uploading a handful of pictures will be tricky as I do not have my external disk with me at the moment. And while in the setup...

Setup: First day.

So from this day this blog will be active. However, the first few days will mainly be setting things up, getting ready and introducing myself and the world to this blog. My initial plan is to make this blog a tutorial blog for 3D Modelling in Cinemal 4D and probably 3D Studio Max. At first the tutorials will be screenshot only, as I am still searching for a functioning recording program which does not cost all the ribs in my body. Introduction about me, will follow so...
