I have a few questions about Blender.

1. How do I use it?

Practice I've been messing around with it on and off for a few months and I'm still learning new things. Here's a good resource for getting started also their site has some video tutorials that are pretty good. If your willing to shell out ~45 dollars theirs an awesome book The Essential Blender that covers most everything, you could get that off thier site or maybe amazon. The full book is also on their web site Link, although I like to have the a book in front of me.

2. How do I take screenies?

F12 to render. F3 to take screen shots.

Thank you for the link, but I meant: when I am uploading the files, what folder do I find them in?

You mean after you export a model or save it? You can save it anywhere you'd like just like any other program.

I generally take screenies with prtscrn and that puts it on the clipboard, then cut out what I want in paint or paint.net.

Blender is a very complicated program at first, but once you start usinjg it it isn't too hard. I've done a course on it at school, as well as read through a huge .pdf we were given explaining boolean and all that cool stuff.

Hmmm..... this program is complicated. If I made a gun for example, and put it on the forums, would people still be able to script the model?

Daedalus · February 27, 2009, 05:17:27 PM

Once I am better at this type of stuff, I will use Blender.

The script is seperate to the model, so if you post a dts someone can make a script for it. If you add me on steam or something I can help you with blender a bit.

I have been using blender for about 1.5 years now. I still don't know what 1/2 the modifiers do.
