Developing with Unity and Blender
Here is a list of all the content of my page about how to use Blender, a software that allows you to create 3D models, texture them and animate them, among many other applications. In general it is information with technical videos showing how to perform different tasks in Blender, for example how to export a 3D model in FBX format with textures included, or how to join and separate objects in Blender.
Introduction The normals of 3D models are vectors that are used to know the orientation of each face of the model and have many utilities, mainly for the rendering of a 3D model, for example they allow to calculate how the model will be illuminated, how the light will bounce, how the shading will be; …

Sometimes it is necessary to know the length of the edges in Blender, for example when we are modeling parts from a schematic or building a model for 3D printing, in this article we will see how to display the length of the selected edges. In the following video we see how to DISPLAY EDGE …
Introduction – Why mirror objects in Blender? In this article we are going to see how to prepare a 3D model to use the “Mirror” modifier in Blender, which allows us to model with symmetry with respect to one or more axes. When mirroring an object in Blender we can focus on creating just one …

In this article we see how to get information about the geometry of the 3D models in Blender, that is to say the vertex count, the amount of edges, faces and also the amount of triangles. In this video we see how to know how many vertices, edge and faces your Blender model has. We …
Introduction The scale of an object is the property that is related to the dimensions of a 3D model and it is something to pay attention to for several reasons, having models with non-normalized scales can bring us problems in physical simulations or in the UV mapping of textures. In case we are building a …

Introduction In this article we see how to reuse the same material in different objects in Blender, that way when we modify the material that change is automatically applied to all the objects that are using the same instance of the material. In the following video we see how to APPLY the SAME MATERIAL to …
How to APPLY the SAME MATERIAL to MULTIPLE OBJECTS in Blender Read More »
Introduction In this article we see how to load an image in Blender to use it as a reference for the modelling process, either to exactly trace its geometry or simply to have it there and consult it to help you with the modelling. We will also see how to orient the reference image in …
Introduction In this article we see how to configure the rendering parameters of the Eevee engine to render the background with transparency. In figure 1 we see a preview of a render in Blender using Eevee, it is a cube with a transparent material and in the background an HDR ambient texture. What we will …
How to render transparent background in Blender Eevee and Cycles Read More »
Introduction In this article we see how to set up the Principled BSDF Shader to make transparent objects in Blender Eevee. In this video you will see how to configure a transparent material for Blender Eevee using the Principled BSDF shader. Download a Blender file with the transparent shader already applied. Elements to be used …

When exporting a model in FBX format in Blender, textures are often lost. Here we will see a method to include them in the FBX file.
Introduction In this article we are going to see how to modify the sky of the scene in Blender so that it displays a texture for the background. For this we will use an HDR texture as an environment texture. This type of texture is very useful when you want to achieve realistic lighting because …

Introduction – ¿What is the origin of an object? The origin of an object in Blender is the point in space that represents the whole object, for example if we want to say the exact position where the object is, we will use the position of the origin. Furthermore, transformations like position changes, rotations and …

Introduction In this article we are going to see how to make sections and cut objects in Blender as seen in figures 1 and 2. For this we are going to use the tools “Knife” and “Bisect”. In the following video I show two ways to cut objects in Blender, this means to create the …
Introduction In this article we are going to see how to create a simple 3D text in Blender from any font of your choice either from the Fonts folder of the system or any downloaded font from the internet. The procedure consists of creating a Text object that is a resource that Blender has to …
Introduction In this article we see how to make holes in Blender using the “Boolean” modifier in the “difference” operation mode, this allows us to remove the volume that occupies a second piece inside the object. You will also find a video showing how to use the boolean modifier in video. In the following video …
