Wow.. Has it really been 10 days since I updated.. Man time flies by fast..

Well I haven’t been up to much in the last 10 days.. Mostly I’ve just been coping with my agoraphobia, which has involved quite a bit of crying lately, other than that, I’ve been playing a few games, though mostly Civilization 4 with a few friends of mine, though I have also been doing a bit of programming in NWScript.

I really should finish that hunger/thirst system that I promised to make for a friend, but it has been hard to find motivation for making it lately.

Other than that, I’ve started to look into learning Blender again, problem is all the other times I’ve tried, I just become stuck and give up, because I am not really an artist and my drawing capabilities suck very much. *chuckles* so it’s hard for me to convey what I am seeing in my head down through my arms and into my hands.

If anyone out there knows a good site with newbie Blender tutorials, please reply with a comment and a link for the site, mostly I’m interested in modeling tutorials right now, and preferably they should cover using meta-balls and the sculpting function because those are the ones I’ve mostly interested in, right now..

I have been following some tutorials on the BlendWiki which tells you how to sculpt using boxes, extruded one at the time, to form a crude person, and then using SubSurfs to make it more around and smooth after that it tells you to use vertex, face and/or edge scaling and transforming to make the crude figure more into a real human looking thing, and it’s fun to play around with, but I’ve heard or should I say read, that using meta-balls and sculpting makes it much easier and allows you to make finer details in your models..

Now, right now I am not gonna use these models for anything else than posing and rendering and my final idea is to learn how to use the new Blender 2.46 fur particle system to try and make a drawing of my fursona, but that’s a long ways away. *chuckles*

But.. Yea, that is mostly what I’ve been up to these last days, though I should really give myself a hard kick in the ass, and write more in my blog, then maybe I would have a few more readers. *giggles*

Well, enough from me this time, I hope that has been informative and thanks for reading.
