LONG awaited update

I haven't actually posted on this blog since my computing class at school ended last semester (so around SIX MONTHS). I didn't even realize until a friend of mine pointed it out. So... here I go:

Sintel

PROJECT DURIAN finally has a name!!!

If you even have Blender downloaded, I suggest you go there and download the files they recently put up.

If you DON'T have Blender (how couldn't you!?), GO THERE ANYWAY!
It rocks!

I absolutely CANNOT wait until it's finished.


I can't say too much more about it, but if you go to their blog, they can tell you EVERYTHING.

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.

Particles

Just a fast demostration of the Blender particle system.

Without particles

With particles

Another demo.
