A study on the usability of the open-source animation software blender for creating complex photorealistic scenes

V tem diplomskem delu analiziramo in opišemo izdelavo fotorealističnega 3D modela Neytiri iz filma Avatar v odprtokodnem programskem paketu Blender. Ogledali si bomo plačljive programske pakete in primerjali njihove funkcionalnosti s funkcionalnostmi našega odprtokodnega programa. Delo obsega celovit opis izdelave modela, ki obsega vse od modeliranja grobe oblike modela do podrobne izdelave tekstur. Predmet študije je lik iz filma Avatar, ki je znan po realističnih modelih, ki so bili pred svojim časom. Po končanem delu smo ugotovili, da je Blender obširen program, ki omogoča izdelavo modelov po standardih filmske industrije.In this thesis, we analyze and describe the creation of a photorealistic 3D model of Neytiri from the movie Avatar in the open source software package Blender. We will take a look at the paid software packages and compare their functionalities with those of our open source program. The work includes a comprehensive description of the model production, which includes everything from the modeling of the rough shape of the model to the detailed production of textures. The subject of the study is a character from the film Avatar, known for realistic models that were ahead of their time. After finishing the work, we realized that Blender is an extensive program that allows the creation of models that are according to the standards of the film industry
