look how quick you can progress in blender 3d

[.:.HMR.:.Hunter232-Priv]

hey i had been thinking about making a gorilla with laser eyes but sadly i can't really model to well

[TheJamsh]

im not yet certain how to do animations yet. im still finishing the modelling tutorial, then comes materials, lighting then animation.

blender is not as difficult to use as you think. it just takes patience. the only problem i have atm is remembering what buttons are where...

I'm sure I've probably posted this before but if not here it is anyways. It's a link to a list of the hotkeys for Blender.

Where can I get the xsi exported OM??

[VSMIT]

Look on his website.

VSMIT.

[bigbadbogie]

Tried it.. dont work.

I imported a 3ds file and tried to export it from blender.

Both are here:
http://files.filefront.com/vtexBLENDzip/;11080075;/fileinfo.html

The xsi is a joke.

[VSMIT]

What don't work about it?

VSMIT.

[bigbadbogie]

No, what do work about it?

Look at the xsi file.

What is wrong with it?  BZ2 likes it just fine.

No animation + wont open in threed.

Open the xsi with notepad. Look at the structure.

[VSMIT]

Back when OM first released his Blender exporter, he told everybody that the xsi format was just a little different from what Threed can read, so it can't open it.  So your only problem is the no animation.

he did say threed cant open it,,, and yeh ive tried. ive also attempted importing in .3ds format things get messed up... i can import lightwave files into blender well, and .obj. .3ds is a pain though..

OM also hasnty perfected animation yet if i remember rightly. why bother editing in notepad anyway when you can do it in 3DS??

[Warfreak]

OM actually did something genious Boogie, its a .xsi format fit to work with BZ2 (and only?).

The true reason animation doesn't work is becasue too little of us have even messed with it in blender, so OM didn't see anythign to fix..... Also, you can set EVERYTHING up in blender... hardpoints, sections, etc., so you DON'T need to open it in threed or notepad.

[bigbadbogie]

But the only reason I would bother importing it and exporting from blender is to get vertex animations working.. and you are telling me that they dont work anyway.

Looks like I'm back to square one.

As stated, they do not work because I have not had any people that are knowledgeable in that area helping me.
