Blending It Up

I recently ran across a program called Blender online and quickly became very interested. Blender is a 3D modeling program with incredible capabilities. If you would like to download Blender, you can visit www.Blender.org and find the download page. Blender is an open source program that is completely free. A programming language called Python (like a snake) is integrated into Blender and can be used to create things such as physics and Artificial Intelligence(AI), which may be incorporated into a game that one might model using Blender. I ordered a book on Blender online yesterday and hope it will arrive by next week.

My goals for this summer are:
  • Learn the basics of Blender's modeling capabilities and animating capabilities
  • Learn how to incorporate Python into Blender animations, etc.
  • Further advance my modeling and animating capabilities in Blender
  • Learn how games are made using Blender and Python

Let me know how that book is. I might want to borrow it when you are done or something
