Blender Python Tutorial: How to Create a Random Word Generator [Learn Python for beginners]

 


In this video we will be creating a pretty Basic Word Generator. In the previous tutorial we created some Digital Graffiti and some of you had asked how I came up with the name and concept and as many of you will know, I am terrible when it comes to naming things.

So, using Python I made a simple Random Word Generator and thought it would be a good idea to show you guys how I did that and if you want to follow along you can download the template script here. 

Alternatively you can download the Finished script here.

I hope you find this video helpful and as always, thanks for watching!

Blender Tutorial: The Leaky Cauldron (Harry Potter Style VFX)

 

 

In this Video we will be turning our footage into a Harry Potter Style VFX Shot. 

 


I wanted to turn our bright, vibrant video footage (download here) into something right out of Diagon Alley.

 

With a little tracking we can add a 2D Plane for our sign and change the colors of our shot to get that grungy vibe. 

 

The Sign took a few mins to create, though I would suggest creating your own and spend a little more time making it look better. 

 

 

If you do want to use the Sign, you can find the download here.

In the actual Harry Potter Movie, the Sign starts off Black and then appears as if by magic. To simulate that same effect, I took a video (download here) and used it as the Factor of a Mix Node.

With a little Color Correction and Color Grading we have our Diagon Alley (kinda, but not really).. You can take this further and add more images of videos (such as the birds above the sign) and add more life into shot.

I hope you find this tutorial helpful and as always, thanks for reading!.
