The Cog Project

independent films by Colin Litster produced using BLENDER

This is the website of an independent 3D animator, and film producer, whose main project is called 'COG'. Over the coming months I will post images, movies, explanations and tutorials about all Cogfilms productions.
My ageing hero's will take you to the beginning of creation, the 4th dimension, and through to love and retirement. ...... and hopefully make you laugh.
The projects are being produced in Blender, the OPEN SOURCE & FREE 3D creation suite, developed by Ton Roosendaal et al.

• Jan/Feb/Mar 2008 Well its about time I did something to update this website to justify its cost. So I am producing a new tutorial explaining how I created the waterfall effect in my Blender Summer of Documentation contribution on materials and textures. Time to introduce a slightly more complex texturing example. This includes NODE materials as well as the use of the modifier stack that were very new when the Blender Summer of Documentation was written. I am adding these as a 3rd part section on the BlenderWIKI. I will also be making a narrated video available on Youtube.
  As with any water image its best seen in motion so click on the above image to see a short clip of the waterfall in motion.

The film is dedicated to my great friend Roger Finch who tragically died in 2003. Roger was an inspiration to many non-professional film makers encouraging them to dream, persevere, and achieve the impossible.
