Quicksolver: Export Blender Video as mp3

Blender is not only a 3d Modelling Software, but also a great OpenSource Video Editing Software. It's also decent for quick Audio Editing. I used it for an Audio Drama project, since I didn't want to use expensive Software.
Since it isn't very obvious on how to export your project to mp3, here is a little tutorial:

1. Go into the Render menu in the Properties tab

2. Select MPEG as fileformat
3. In the Encoding options, select Mp3 as Format
4. Additionally you can change the Bitrate

P.S.: I spent hours of searching and trying before I found this option. You could also use this to extract Audio from Videos and arrange them together (severall Youtube Video Parts to one mp3).

From gaming to marketing: The XBOX ONE and the future of Entertainment

The XBOX One should be the next big hit, not only in gaming, but also in entertainment. Many great features and a modern Hardware that can compete with average Computers. All in One Box. It even comes with the Kinect, the new interface between Human and XBOX. It seems Microsoft really wanted to give the consumers everything they wanted.
But behind all that technology is always Software that watches you.

Quicksolver: My Unity Lightmaps look bad

Problem

My lightmaps in Unity look really bad and ugly.

Solution

  • Untick "Compressed". This decompresses your lightmaps and makes their file size bigger. Uncompressed Lightmaps look a lot smoother.
  • Set your bake quality to "High" and change the resolution.
