I've been researching for a while now and I can't seem to find any way to make radio or transmission waves in blender.  I'm looking for an effect sort of like this, but coming from a point in the animation. I am using Cycles and I am trying to create an internet of things animation, but it is very hard to portray what is happening without waves.  I have already tried to use a particle system, but was unable to achieve this effect. Maybe something like  would work but I'm not sure how to do it without the plane still being there. I also don't have after effects so that isn't really an option for me.  Any help of ways to make waves or to portray them would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Help, where is the color?! I tried everything going through material etc. Im barely learning on youtube with blenderguru but I don't know why my objects colors disappeared when rendering.

Because I am pretty new to blender I watched the tutorial  from BlenderCookie.com.  I loaded  onto a sphere but then in all views the texture is just some kind of blurry with no details.

I'd like to create lights and shadows in a 2D environment, like in the image below:    I did several searches but got no results. Do you have any hint?

Is there any equivalent option or process to get results equal, similar or better than Eevee's Bloom? If yes, how could I do it? I have an object with Emission Surface on Material in that case it is representing a sun, and the results I need are exactly or a little better than what Eevee's bloom is giving, but, Eevee's mesh render doesn't look as good as Cycles so I was wondering if there was such a thing. Thanks!

Hi, Im newbie at blender 3d.   I just saw this at motion graphic, but don't understand how to model this shape.   Can I get any advise for modeling this shape?

I was working on a something and I thought, wouldn't sunbeams look great with this. So I searched in google and everywhere but didn't find any answer. So my question is how to make sunbeams in blender?

I'm trying to do a volumetric light on Cycles, and I've followed tutorials, but nothing has worked yet. How can I make a proper volumetric light in Blender, like the following one?    But to leave the light in the middle, like, almost a star, is this possible? I'm at the point to use an image plane besides the light which would be better... I need to use it moving the camera.  I'm actually trying to do this because I want to simulate the brightness of the Sun.  I tried the effect, but it still gave me an error:

How do I create this type of effect with an image? I'm wondering how to get the thick edges and the tilted look. Is there an online tool that will convert a flat image to look like this?

As a picture often speaks better than words, here are the two images of my problem. I'm trying to get a smooth render on this object. I tried many options but no way I always have these artifacts. Is it possible to have a smooth rendering with a convex surface?     Here what I'm trying to model

How to render perfect cartoons in blender? Whatever the engine is (internal or cycles) I always get that shading transition somewhere on the model.      The first picture is in blender internal render engine with the toon shading material and the second picture is in cycles render engine with the toon shader.    How can I get completely flat colors with no fancy shading variation?

I want to render an image that is, for example, 170 px by 180 px. How can this be done in blender? I'm using the cycles render. Is the process any different for an animation?

Complete noobie to Blender here.  I was wondering if there was a way to add the bumps from a normal map into a model so I can 3D print it with all the indents and such.  I assume it's something to do with the Displacement modifier but I have absolutely no idea how to use it or any nodes or such.  If you need more info on what the normal maps look like and such I'll be happy to send them.

Is there an addon, or an easy way to add  effects or  in Blender? I've been using Blender for a while now, and it's very time consuming to always have to export to another software to do them, and sometimes it's impossible if the scene is complex.

In solid mode with Material or Texture, it is shown fine.   But in the Render mode, everything is pitch black. I have a sun, and the Opacity of the scene is set to 100%.    I am new to using Blender, so I have no idea what is wrong. If you could help, I would appreciate it. If you need more information to help me, I would be glad to give it.

I've been trying to create an abstract pink background similar to this one:    I can't seem to find any tutorial on how to do it. How are those wavy looking lines created?  Thanks.

I'm currently a beginner when it comes to 3D modelling but doing okay so far. I'm struggling a bit when it comes to the final renders of my scene, specifically on the camera view I want. Sometimes its to zoomed in and sometimes to zoomed out that it's gone out of the environment of the blender. I realized the settings for the camera on blender are for actual cameras / photography and I'm no expert on that too. A tip on how to control them precisely would be nice. Thank you.
