This is a list of video tutorials contributed by Panda3D users.

Blender2Panda: normalmaps
This youtube video shows how to do normalmapping with Blender and export it to panda3d. Featuring:

  • baking of normal maps from highpoly to lowpoly model
  • applying the normalmaps and previewing in Blender
  • export of model and texture using the chicken exporter, and a pview session f the model


Blender2Panda: Tags and Dummys
This youtube video shows how to do dummys and tags in Blender and export it to panda3d. Featuring:

  • creation and usage of dummy objects
  • adding tags
  • exporting
  • using dummys and tags in panda + recursive dummys


Blender2Panda: Animations
This youtube video shows how to do animation in Blender and export it to panda3d. Featuring:

  • low poly modelling
  • armature creation
  • connecting meshes
  • basic armature animation
  • exporting


Panda3D + OpenCV for head-tracking
This youtube video shows the result of some tinkering with opencv and panda3d. Opencv does the head-tracking while panda3d runs a slightly modified version of the "ball-in-a-maze" sample. Both are running as individual process communicating via sockets to exchange the face-position data. It's running in realtime as you can see. Webcam delivers ~30fps, panda3d runs with 60fps (capped to monitor refresh rate) Its all written with a hand full of python lines.
