billyboy: Maybe I am crazy but not so crazy to believe that a heavy program like Blender can be learned in 2 weeks. Good luck to all participants. Guys, let's see what we can do this week on photoshop contests ( 5 years and 3401 days ago )
Suky04: All programs in 3D have the same bases. I think is Impossible to learn a program like blender in a period of time ( 5 years and 3401 days ago )
itgik: You may not be able to learn it completely in 2 weeks but I'm pretty sure not one here really uses it so thought it would be a good leveller. I know myself I have only ever loaded blender once so am looking forward to the challenge. ( 5 years and 3401 days ago )
downoffthedragon: I've been using blender for a few months. I can't afford anything else. But I'm not that great at it. There are a TON of tutorials out there. And if you can use any other 3D program, you can use blender. But I guess I could be wrong because I've never tried any other program! ( 5 years and 3401 days ago )
LKY: Wat the hell......learning a new software and creating something in it in jst 2 waks....it suks..... ( 5 years and 3401 days ago )
LKY: weeks* ( 5 years and 3401 days ago )
dka120: I can see your idea itgik, and I admit it's tempting. Blender has good capabilities for being completely free. But in the end I don't think there will be that many entries. I didn't even know anyone using it. It takes way too long adapt to a new software. I'm already struggling with converting to 3DSMax. Combine that with the time it usually takes to model/texture/setup/tweak/render a scene on only two weeks.... naah. I'll take this as an week of 3D instead! ( 5 years and 3401 days ago )
LKY: I want a new 3d contest... ( 5 years and 3400 days ago )
randy: wow im a 3d max master iv heard of blender but when i firest read the post i though they ment a food blender lol ill sit this one out but yet im also temped to want to join ( 5 years and 3400 days ago )
kyricom: Well... I've never done any 3D in my life and I downloaded this to give it a try. The program seems pretty cool, but the instructions SUCK! I'll be looking for tutorials, but don't know if I'll get anything done or not ( 5 years and 3398 days ago )
wlado: Uhhh.... like... Go to hell man, I'm NOT gonna learn another 3D program! It took me a lot to adjust to 3ds Max (since we've been using Maya in school), now you expect me to learn a completely new program in LESS THAN 2 WEEKS?! No thanks, I think I'd rather LIVE than spend all that time on PC learning it since the program is hard to use, at least to me. ( 5 years and 3397 days ago )
downoffthedragon: If they're not going to pull this contest, I'm going to submit! ( 5 years and 3395 days ago )
wlado: Go for it. The way things are, you'll be in the top 3 definitely.... if there are gonna be more than 3 subbmissions at all... ( 5 years and 3395 days ago )
cabldawg71: you all may get a surpize ( 5 years and 3393 days ago )
: I have tried to learn this many times, even with tutorials and it is way too hard. The program is NOT user-friendly, it is genious-friendly though. ( 5 years and 3390 days ago )
Maya3D: Pls more 3D challenges.. ( 5 years and 3389 days ago )

I made this swirly ball using this tutorial:http://blendermama.com/twirly-sphere-modelling.html

I made a pillar out of a cylindar and flattened cubes, stacked.

Made adjustments to the ball in Ray Mirror and Ray Transparency. Changed the colors of the world.

Placed the default light inside of the ball. Added a sun lamp, colored it yellow and increased the intensity to 1.58.

Added marble texture and made adjustments to the texture on the base. Added color. (5 years and 3386 days ago)
