help with blender

is there anyone who knows how to use blender?

if so, a little bit of help would be greatly appreciated

www.elysiun.com had a lot of tutorials and help for blender. I haven't used it in ages now that you mention it. To be honest, I was never that good. Nice interface though :smile:

Two tomatoes, some water, sugar and salt to taste. Turn the knob, and off you go!

... what do you mean "how do you use a blender" ???

Put the s**t in. Press the speed you want ... press some sort of stop button ... eat/drink whatever you made.

If you don't know what the words on the blender settings mean, look them up.

Blender the free modelling package Crono :rolleyes:

Blender 3D I have heard is a wonderful modeling program and its free. I still would like to get my hands on Zbrush though. That program kicks so much ass.

Why the hell did I think he meant a blender ... Damn pictures.

/me wets

Damn you all. I just finished mowing my lawn in 92 degree weather. Now I want a strawberry smoothie.

I want a blender!

Blender was making money for a while then something backfired, now its free again :biggrin:

I think I'll just wait to save up on that 40 bucks I need for Milkshape :O Does blender have any import Qc/smd/HL Model files!?

XSI will be a wonderfull modeling program to use when HL2 hits shelves.

Blender's interface works about as well as a dead squirrel, though. Beware.

i actually started working with blender about a month ago for the "robotics" class i'm taking. Blender isnt only a decent modeling prog but you can set up python-driven sensors, controllers and actuators in your models and put them in a physical "world" with gravity, friction etc... its set up as a portal towards making a (basic) game.

if you read the manual via the 'documentation' link on www.blender.org you should be able to get somewhere. if you have a specific question i can always try to help you out. and yeh the interface takes some getting used too :rolleyes:

Has anyone here tried XSI out?

I installed it today and had a run through the first of the tuts earlier tonight. Learning the basics of navigating the 2d and 3d screens was enough for one sitting.

I had a look at it when it was first released too, but I didn't try to get into it because of my monitor being too small at the time. Now I've got a 19" monitor alongside the old one, used in a dual screen setup. Which means I can keep the tuts open on a full screen. :biggrin:

What does the screen resolution need to be to run it?

I'm not sure. I was running it at 1600x1200.

I think when it was first released it needed 1600x1200. Then a version to run on a lower res was made available, but I don't know how low a res it will run on.

is this the program i heard of to make statics for HL2?

if so, are you going to be making tut's for it fish?
