Will I Blend?

Will I Blend?

 

Calm down!  I do not intend on sticking myself in a blender.  Okay, now that we're all settled down allow me to explain myself.

 

I was Digging a couple weeks ago and I found this article about 3D rendering and animation using an open source program called Blender.  Now it just so happened that I was embroiled in the an online world at the time and didn't pay too much attention to my new toy; but my subscription expired yesterday and I found myself with some free time.

 

I've started running through a very detailed tutorial and I'm learning quite a bit.  As with any knowledge however, if you don't apply it you lose it.  Thus I have decided to create and publish my works here as a record and an outlet.  I will of course be starting off embarrassingly slow and weak, though I have some cool inspiration to help me along.

 

Here's a rendering of one of my first projects.  Fancy?  No.  But considering how little I've invested it's pretty cool to see some of the potential.


 
I have recently noticed that I can also record video while I'm running the program so I may eventually have some footage of myself working as well as some final product.
