Damn, I’ve been spending a lot more time learning blender (that animation isn’t mine by the way, off google), and the more I get into it the more impressed I generally am by this application. It’s pretty damn powerful stuff. Once you get past the whole setup really it’s a lovely little program, that’s got all the capabilities of the big boys. Fair enough the way you go about things is pretty strange at first but it does make working faster a possibility once you know all the shortcuts.

Don’t be put off by it’s small size, it’s like 2.43Mb, which is tiny. That’s less than an mp3 song. The development team rewrote the code from the ground up and generally did an awesome job compressing the hell out of it. I’ll be posting some stuff in the not too distant future I’m sure. In the meantime if you want to see what is actually achievable using this program check out the following two sites, blender.org and blender3d.org. The first site is for developers and community and news, while the second is where the gallery is, where you can download the program and the overall front page of the package. Very professional stuff going on there.

Don’t forget to download FireFox Version 1.0 tomorrow. Dude it’s going to be great. Would like to know what the difference between this and the preview version there is because there was a pretty significant change between that and version 0.9.
