New Website for Somnium Inc.

I may have posted this earlier in one of my posts, but anyways, I'd like to give a separate comment on the website side. I have created a new website for Somnium Inc., sites.google.com/site/somniumtutorials, where you can find courses, registration forms to join with Somnium Inc. for FREE for a special courses which give detailed After Effects tutorials. For now I am focusing on After Effects. As per my previous post, I may move on to Blender with our website also, but for now I am only thinking about creating video tutorials for either. Some of our portals on the internet are as listed below:-

Youtube Channel:- www.youtube.com/user/FXDepotProductions
Blog:- somniumtuts.blogspot.com
Website:- sites.google.com/site/somniumtutorials

Blender Tutorials Available on Youtube!

Since many people have an interest especially in 3D Animation and stuff like that, I have planned to start off this week's tutorials based on the Blender Animation Software. It is downloadable for free from www.blender.org, and once gotten, install the Python script if you haven't because Blender may not work properly without Python. You will find more information on the subject of installation on the website itself. Firstly, I am not familiar with Blender. Secondly, I am teaching you something I have no experience in. Well, thats the fun part, heh? I get to learn something including teaching other guys about the same things I learn. Its like a shared learning experience, something few teachers rarely go through. Exception include me of course. Anyways, Blender 3D, once downloaded can be used to create stunning 3D graphics and can generate whole landscapes, textures, characters, atmosphere and fur. To view a few productions using the Blender software, try watching Sintel on Youtube, which is, according to my opinion, one of the most excellent renditions of animation in Blender since Big Buck Bunny, which is another production using the Blender software by the Durian Project by Blender.org. Anyways, this is just a heads-up before I begin the actual tutorials! So, have fun with them and hope you understand anything I say!
