In this video, we will be creating a Line trace and an Interaction Interface so that we can interact with objects with the press of a button.
Since we have already created a battery pick up we can switch out the Overlap Event with the Interaction Event and be able to pick up the Battery as apposed to running over it.
With this Interaction Interface ready, we can move on to things like door, drawers and anything else we want the player to interact with.

![Blender Compositing VFX Tutorial : Posterize Effect [Node Editor]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PH3Fi7FIaDI/mqdefault.jpg "Blender Compositing VFX Tutorial : Posterize Effect [Node Editor]
In this Blender Compositing VFX Tutorial, we will be creating a Posterize Effect within the Node Editor.
There are a couple of ways to achieve this effect and we will be looking at a quick and simple way then at the end we will look at the proper way. Once you have create your Effect you an then go ahead and create a Super Node and save your file so that when you want to use this effect again you only need to append it as and when you want it.
I didnt have much time this week for this video and was planning to miss this weeks upload but Instead of letting you guys down I thought I would make this fairly quick video and hopefully some part of it helps..
So as always, I hope you found this Blender Compositing VFX Tutorial helpful and Thanks for watching!..")
![[3D Printing] How to Model and Print a Dragons Egg (Blender)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QShLN7uyV8w/mqdefault.jpg "[3D Printing] How to Model and Print a Dragons Egg (Blender)
In this Video we will be creating a Dragons Egg which will then be printed out.
If you want to download this Model check the link below.
Creating the Egg was simple enough with the help of Proportional editing.
Then We will add some scales using the Displace Modifier and an image from Textures.com (Link below).
Then when we are happy with the scale and strength we can go ahead and Export it as an STL and send it off to the 3D Printer.
(Note, I printed this out and realized the Strength was way too low so I increased it to 2.0)
This was a pretty simple Object to create but I think it turned out quite nice (though my painting skills need some work). I hope you guys enjoyed this video and as always, thanks for watching!.

Download version 1.3 here: http://bit.ly/2kB5XYt
In this video we will be looking at Version 1.3 of the Darkfall VFX Nodes Add-on.
In this third Update, I wanted to implement a few new things but since they are not ready, I thought it would be best not to include them in this weeks update. I also have been working on a few other things (not related to the add-on) that have taken up a lot of my time.
That being said, I have added a simple effect to the line up. The Film Grain Node.
This effect will create either a Color or B&W Texture to simulate Film grain which we can add to our compositions.
This is a great way to stylize your videos or integrate a 3D Model into your live action footage.
I just wanted to take out the hassle of creating this effect and I think we now have a quick way yo do this.
I hope you find this add-on helpful and if you are enjoying these videos be sure to hit that Like button!...

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

![[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..
