Bojica http://blog.bojica.com/?p=184 The gimp-reflection plugin extends the lower section of an image as a reflection of the original image with a single click, similar effects to what you see on Apple’s website, iWeb, etc.

This screencast shows you how to download, install and use the gimp-reflection plugin. Enjoy!

Example:

The original image:
photo-19

The result, after the one-click reflection filter is applied:
photo-19-gr

Easy, isn’t it?

Bojica http://blog.bojica.com/?p=83 Looking at my previous design, I would like to add a rope to the anchor. I have researched the Internet for different techniques how to achieve this, and here is what I found on YouTube, Making a Rope with Blender’s 3D Tool:

Bojica http://blog.bojica.com/?p=79 In Blender, to find the angle between two random edges in the same plane, we need to select the three vertices which are forming our edges (the intersection point, and the vertices which are defining our edges). Fkey to create a face (if they are not forming already one) and then, press Edge Angles in Mesh Tools 1 panel.

Bojica http://blog.bojica.com/?p=73 My logo, from previous post gets better. Curious thing, that I should to the company this prototype and a slightly modified version would be considered in the real world :)

Here is my progress so far:

and, the same, but with white background:

How to change rendering backgrounds?

Well, one option is to set up a plane on the back side of the image, which takes as a texture the picture I want to display in background. The advantage is that I can use the effects of dropping shadow on my plane.

Second option, which in fact I have used here is to go into Scene (F10Key) – Output Panel and change //backbuf with the image I want to display in background and to be sure that Backbuf button is selected. I couldn’t figure out thought, if there is an option to change the colour only, without adding an image with the colour I want (see bottom example, with white background).

To Do: match original colors and fit in a nice background and lights.
