![[Darkfall Live Stream 001] Masking Continued + Hollow Head Bonus (Blender) @DarkfallBlender](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/RNFDQoDceCc/maxresdefault.jpg)

So this is an edited version of our very first Live Stream. I cut out all the bad parts and most of the Rambling (Warning, may still contain some rambling.. and truthful Captions)
We look at using the pivot point and how it can help us when Rotoscoping.
We then took a slight detour and messed around with the Masks to get a kind of "Hollow Head" effect. Mask's are great to use and there are hundreds of ways to utilize them.
If you enjoyed this and want to watch more Live Streams then be sure to let me know. I am always open to new Ideas and suggestions!..
If you create something cool with masks be sure to post a link in our Facebook Group.

![Blender Compositing VFX Tutorial : Hollywood Airbrush Effect [Node Editor]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/RNIeLEOPKFU/mqdefault.jpg "Blender Compositing VFX Tutorial : Hollywood Airbrush Effect [Node Editor]
In this Blender Compositing VFX Tutorial, we will be attempting a kind of Hollywood Airbrushed effect in order to turn this shot into something much better.
We will be airbrushing the skin along with removing the dark circles under the eyes and also adding some color to her cheeks. We will also reduce the nose to complete the Hollywood feel.
This effect is really over the top and perfect for a Hollywood Style Airbrushed shot but you can airbrush the skin as much or as little to achieve the look you are going for.
I hope you find this Blender Compositing VFX Tutorial helpful and as always thanks for watching!

![[Review] All in One 3D Printer Dora (Easythreed E3D)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/RNu9MLd1lrU/mqdefault.jpg "[Review] All in One 3D Printer Dora (Easythreed E3D)
In this video, we look at the All-in-one 3D Printer Dora by Easythreed.
The Dora is a step up from the NANO (the last 3d printer review that we did)
With speeds of up to 100mm/s and a greater build space, the Dora is really quite something.
Not only does it look beautiful, but its super simple to use. its great for beginners or young people with the simple design. Along with the Slicing software, which has a one key print option or for those who want access to more advanced settings can do so with the Custom Print Option.
I have enjoyed using the DORA and think its perfect for not only those who are just starting to 3d print but also for those who are more advanced but prefer a stylish all-in-one machine.
If you would like to pick up a DORA 3d printer, check out the gearbest store or the facebook shop (Links below)
I hope you guys enjoyed this review or at least found it helpful..

In this Blender Python Scripting Tutorial, we will be taking a quick look at Timers.
We will be creating a simple timer that will run a function once after (x) amount of time.

The next Timer we will be taking a look at is one where we can Run a Function once, every (x) amount of seconds for (n) amount of times. With this Timer we can set how many times we want a function to run along with how quick the function is ran between intervals.
There are other example of Timers and if you want to check out the Official Blender Python Scripting Docs check the links below. If you want to see more Complex Timers be sure to let me know in the comments.

In this Blender Python Tutorial, we will be looking at how we can generate a random number and then displaying that number in a Panel. We will also take a look at adding text and Icons and only displaying them based on that random number.

There are two types of Numbers we can use, Floats and Integers. These are just fancy names for Decimal or Whole Numbers.

In this Live Stream we will be looking at creating a very simple Particle System to add some Fireflies or Glowflies or what ever to our shot.. We have done something similar in a previous tutorial but this time we are using Live Action Footage instead of a fully CG scene.
Once we are happy with the Particle System we can then either, Render out the Fireflies then add them to our Footage in post (Which I prefer to do) or you can compose your shot from there and when you are happy with it, Render it out.
At the End I will go back and make some adjustments and make the fireflies look more unique but if you are happy with your result be sure to post your work in our Facebook Group!..

In the last Video we reviewed the E3D Nano Printer and we used the Suzanne Monkey Head for our First Print.
In this video we will be looking at preparing the Model for printing using Blender then saving it out as an STL. Then using Cura we will slice and Add G-Code to the file and then finally printing it out.
The print needs cleaning and painting but overall I am happy with how it turned out.

This can be used for a number of different things. From debugging your own work to displaying an error or info message to the user.
To do this is rather simple and if you want to follow along you can find the template script in our blog here: https://darkfallblender.blogspot.com/2020/12/blender-python-tutorial-how-to-display.html
Displaying messages to the user can be really useful, especially if your add-on is context sensitive. You can quickly let the user know what they are doing wrong and inform then what they need to do.

![Blender Python Tutorial : Property Subtypes and Password Protection [learn python for beginners]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/V-Bwg7O49ys/mqdefault.jpg "Blender Python Tutorial : Property Subtypes and Password Protection [learn python for beginners]
In this Blender Python Tutorial, we will be taking a look at some different Subtypes for our Properties like Password Protection and more!.
Looking to learn Python for beginners? You are in the right place. Be sure to check out the Scripting Playlist!.
Simply by changing the subtype of a property can change how the property is displayed on a panel or dialog box.
In the previous video you may have seen how we changed a simple Float Vector Property into a Color (with alpha) input. If you want to follow along, you can download the template script from our blog: https://darkfallblender.blogspot.com/2020/08/blender-python-tutorial-property.html
Within custom properties we can define many different arguments such as the Name, description and so on. In this example we want to focus one one argument in particular and that is the subtype. Using the Python Console we can not only find what arguments we can use but also what subtypes and more.
You will find that some subtypes are useful for certain situations and depending on what option or value you want to display, the choice will vary.Thanks to the String Subtype,
I also wanted to show you a quick way to password protect your operations or options. You could take it further and add more features to it.
