In this Blender 2.5 Video tutorial, I go over using the particle hair system to create downey feathers. Then using the duplifaces technique to add the longer feathers, as well as their texturing and a quick rig setup.

This is the last part in the Pup Tent tutorial. In this part, we'll beapplying procedural textures for the different aspects of the tentusing a paint application and cloning to create a background image from our referencecreating a ground area and using Blender's particles system to create grasscreating render layers and using Blender's compositing nodes to color correct things before doing a final render.This is an intermediate level tutorial.You can check out the tutorial at BlenderCookie.comtechnorati tags: Blender3D, 3D, graphics, Blender tutorials

Excellent page to look back to while learning hair and fur. loads of resources linked from here.

Hello,Here's Part 1, of a 3-part video tutorial series, that will show you how to create a magic wand particles effect, the sort of visual effect you might see when a “magic wand” is waved. This will be similar to a “pixie” dust effect, although not so complicated.In Part 1, we’ll take a look at how to create the sprite graphics that will be used in the particle system.Check out Part 1 on

Here's Part 3, the final part of the tutorial series that will show you how to create a magic wand particles effect, the sort of visual effect you might see when a “magic wand” is waved. This will be similar to a “pixie” dust effect, although not so complicated.In Part 3, we'll take a look at combining the sprite graphics with our particle system, and then tweaking things, including a little bit

This tutorial teaches how to use Blender’s particles system to “paint” instanced objects onto mesh surfaces. Similar to Maya’s “Paint Effects”, though not nearly as powerful, it’s a very nice way to fill a scene with flowers, vegetation, rocks, pebbles, gravel, debris, etc.There's so much you can do with these techniques! The end of the tutorial includes a timelapse demonstrating a practical
