Seeing that I had to engage Blender in order to fully render my latest Maya 6.5 creation, I've decided to give Blender a serious look, so Last-night I made the first step in learning how to use this software on my Mac, by starting with a tutorial on YouTube and this is the initial result! (There are still many more stages to cover with this model)

This is the beginning of the first model I've ever modelled in Blender, and from what I can see so far, Blender's actually a rather awesome piece of 3D software!



I have a fairly good understanding of how to model objects such as buildings and machines, but have not yet tried to model "organic" objects such as food, people or animals! (This is an understanding that I feel I need to gain, before moving forward in an attempt to accurately model the skins for an SGI machine such as an O2, as they're fairly organic in their form!)

Blender is nice. I have never had an eye for 3D animation though and I'm not particularly artistic. If I had to be an animator or modeler, it would be for 2D animations

Here's the next iteration and my Blender layout:

Hmmmm...sprinkles.

Here's the finished doughnut:



I still have to finish the rest of the scene in the tutorial! (I've learned more in this one tutorial than I have in years!)

All this "doughnutting" about has caused me crave the real thing, so today I had to pay Krispy Creme a visit! (They're way too sweet for my tase though!!!!)

Here's the next bit of progress on this Blender tutorial!
