Blender + Apple Motion: Spaceship Tutorial Project

Part One of this (seven part) introductory course for Apple Motion users who are new to Blender, in which we’ll create 3D scene elements in Blender and bring them into Motion for the rest of the 3D build and animation. Although it’s not a very plausible spaceship, this tutorial project will provide a very useful tour of a range of key concepts and workflows.

The fourth and final part of this introductory course for Apple Motion users who are new to Blender, and in this final part we’ll bring our spaceship build into Motion and light and animate the final scene, bringing to an end our epic journey. But wait there’s more … three more parts, in fact, so stay tuned!

In this fifth installment of this introductory course for Apple Motion users who are new to Blender we’ll be looking at using Blender’s powerful texture paint to give our spaceship a worn and battered look.

Please note that my suggested method for creating the Normal Map using Normal Map Online is probably not the best way to go, as I will demonstrate in the next part.
