TRIPLEd!

Shadow, does that mean it can make normal maps?

You can manually make them. But it only works for flat surfaces. Though you can also just unwrap the mesh if it's a character or something, but that's incrediably tedious, and inaccurate.

I thought blender was to have no moer updates???

Where did you hear that?

why should it have no more updates? this is blender, an open source application, not windumb, closed source crap. the point IS that the app keeps evolving.

Ya I don't see Blender dying out for some time.

ive never used blender but im still sticking with 3dsmax unless someone has some amazingly easy simple animation program

depends on what you call easy. personally i consider blenders animation features damn powerfull. but like the rest of blender you need to learn it to unleash it's full power.

I need to learn blender. I'll just buy a book. Probally when i learn it, i will use it all the time. I tried just messing around with it.

Blender released a book?

Ya the Blender Foundation released the Blender 2.3 guide early 2004. 768 pages of how to use blender I was one of the first 250 people to purchase one, so I got a copy signed by Ton Roosendall.

nice. i learned it the hard way, through RTFM and a lot of T&E. a shortcut list is the thing though i wish for the most.

u can buy books for every program, even ones you've never heard of like MieTheory

Go to the scripts window, scripts > Help > Hotkey and Mouseaction reference

hm... doesn't work... maybe i need console for. i'll look into it.

It's a python script, so make sure you have python fully installed and working. If you still have probs, you can find a full list here: Download.blender.org
First section.

i got python working, as
1) i'm on linux-gentoo
2) i'm using my own python export script for my model format.

there's been something once... but i guess blender always wants to use Lynx (ARG!!!) to show the page and locks up if not run from console. ^_^
