This is an in depth review of Oliver Villar's first commercial product "Hologram-Complete Project". This review is designed to show you the good and the bad about the product so before buying you can make a better informed decisions as to whether or not the product is for you. By kind permission of Oliver himself I also get to show you actual footage from the training itself in the review.

Quick Tip: Creating an Alpha Map



In this tutorial I go over how to create a bump map of a rendered image using the compositor. These maps are useful in a variety of situations; whether you want to do some texture work and need a specific bump map or whether you want to create a brush to use while sculpting.

For blender's documentation reference here.

Modeling a Toga



Toga Party! I don't even know what that means to tell you the truth... anyway, having committed to make a tutorial on how to create a toga here it is in all of its HD vimeo glory. In the tutorial I show you how to quickly make cloth and a toga using Blender's awesome sculpting tools. So sit back, relax, and watch yourself some good toga goodness.

On a side note, due to school being in full swing and me working full time teaching; I have found it a little hard to make Blender training, but if I get enough support via views, comments, likes on facebook, etc I will continue to try to make one video every week or so. I have finished three tutorials on modeling now; and will focus on texture work for the next three videos. I have some pretty fun tutorials lined up, so stay tuned. Also make sure you go check out the competition, it is still running until the end of September.
