Creative COW members have been leaving high praise on Paolo Ciccone's many Blender 3D training videos now online in the Creative COW Library. Since beginning his series at the beginning of February, over 24,000 COW members have watched one or more lessons from Paolo's series. Of himself, Paolo says: "I worked as an R&D engineer for a company in the Silicon Valley now gone but at that time was one of the best in the field: Borland International. At Borland, I was the main OOS evangelist and successfully achieved the port of JBuilder to Linux. I moved to video/mograph production several years ago, and contributed to the OBJ import/export code for Blender 2.48. I'm now in the process of developing a full-fledged export to After Effects."
Paolo started the Blender series with the popular "After Effects Exporter for Blender" demonstrating Blender's new After Effects Exporter (AEE), a program that exports Blender animations to After Effects for easy post work. The AEE integrates perfectly inside Blender 2.49 and is capable of exporting camera information, mesh reference points, 3D text reference points, planes, lights and rendered footage. All with one click of the mouse.
Following this first Blender instructional video, Paolo launched into his quickly growing "Blender Survival Guide" series, a series which today stands at five installments -- which if we are learning anything about Paolo, we expect to see more in the days ahead.
So, if you are one of the many that tried Blender and gave up because it was just to hard and convoluted and poorly documented for your tastes, see for yourself why COW members are raving about Paolo's series. He really does have the ability to make it all make sense and to present it in a way that many COW members are quickly becoming fans of both Blender and Paolo Ciccone.
