REVIEW (& tutorial)

Well, I tried the new release of Blender (2.48) today (and very briefly, I must say, it kept crashing due to me not having a solid OS (Ubuntu sucks sometimes), and I was forced to use my "virtual box" virtual machine), and I thought it was definitely an improvement on 2.45, but I didn't get to try everything that I wanted. One thing I did try, however, was the new softbody technique where you can have softbodies in game mode (which means, when I get it, awesomeness will ensue). Anyway, I didn't have much to say.

One thing that I just remembered, you should all check out the new open movie project Durian. It should be awesome (and better than Big Buck Bunny, and Elephants dream (which I didn't get, by the way. If anyone could explain it to me, that would be great)).

And, a new Tutorial is up!

Tutorials

Now I know that I said a while back that I would post some tutorials here, but that made me start to think...
Do I really want to go back and forth between posts about Blender news and the tutorials?
Not at all. So, I made a new blog and put a link to it at the top of this page. This is going to be my Blender news page, and the other will be for tutorials.

Survey

Hey people! I added a survey that I would like you to answer for me. The results will help me to know weather to post more news about Blender, or more tutorials for all you new users. The more veteran users I have, the less tutorials I will feel like I need to post.

New Release

Blender 2.48a was released in October last year. They finally added soft body dynamics to the bullet physics library (for those of you who don't use Blender, thats pretty big. or maybe its just me who thinks so.) and a whole bunch of other cool stuff so, check it out! (if you haven't already.)

Intro

Hey! In this blog i will be talking about some of the features of Blender 3D, and sometimes give some helpful information on certain aspects of it (due to its insane learning curve). I have been using Blender for about two and a half years now, and I'm still learning new things about it all the time. So i hope this can be helpful to some people, and maybe even get some more people into it.
