Blender

Anybody ever heard of this? Sounds pretty cool:

Blender is the open source software for 3D modeling, animation, rendering, post-production, interactive creation and playback. Available for all major operating systems under the GNU Public License.
http://www.blendernation.com/about/

http://blender3d.org/cms/Features.155.0.html

It looks like the stuff you'd use to design video games with. Way out of my league, but cool nonetheless.



Oh yeah... watch some of the videos on the site of the second link if you get a chance. They really show the true power of this software.

I have no idea how to use it at all... just thought it was cool and that I'd post it up to see if anyone knew how.

I down loaded it a few hours ago and played around a bit with it. Here's a pic of what I have so far, it's a not great rendering but I didn't read how to use it either.

I hate reading tutorials.

That's pretty good considering you didn't read the tutorials. I couldn't even figure out how to draw a 3D circle, much less a 4Runner.

Thanks Churnd, but I guess you could say I had an advantage. I use to play around with 3D Studio Max when I was more into racing games and Blend is somewhat similar.
