Over the last several months on the forums, we’ve answered quite a few Blender questions — and sometimes they were answered with the help of blend files. I figured it might be useful to list some of them here, in case they can be of help. So here they are, along with some others. It’s not a complete list, just some of the ones I thought to be more interesting or instructional. Most of them are simple; not intended to impress but usually to demonstrate a single how-to…
Blender Underground is hosting a friendly little challenge on our forums. There are at least two purposes for this: 1) to generate an owl model for Agent Darth to use as part of a business logo; 2) to assist those interested to build their modeling skills and their knowledge of Blender. You can read about it here on the forums. There are no prizes, but if you want to have a little fun, we’d love to have you.
If you would like to participate, you’ll need to register for the forums. This should be fun and will assist any interested parties in building their Blender skills! We anticipate lots of questions, and forum users helping each other to increase know-how. So if you want to take a shot at it, increase your skills along the way, and interact with others working on similar projects, come on in and join the fun.

I want to extend special thanks to Agent Darth_Gimp and Damascus, who took the time to design Blender Underground’s forum theme. I have to say: they did an excellent job, far beyond expectation. Blender Underground considers itself fortunate to have members who take interest in making us look good. Agent Darth_Gimp personifies this concept. Come on in and have a look, and make sure to say thanks to Darth_Gimp and Damascus. |

I put up a donations link today, and I wanted to say a few words about it. First and foremost, I want to stress that the Blender video tutorials posted on this site are provided free of charge, and you are under no obligation to pay for them. In addition, there are numerous ways to support the site that don’t involve your wallet, which I iterate below.
I started doing Blender tutorials as a way of giving something back to the community that gave me Blender. When I first started with the application, I was amazed at how full-featured and capable it was. I started by watching the video tutorials on blender.org and progressed from there to sites like blendernewbies.com and geneome.net, among others. It was these tutorials that helped get me up and running. For this reason I wanted to produce a few of my own…
I’ve set up a (tentatively) temporary forum for those wanting to come hang out, get questions answered, make suggestions, etc. Don’t expect everything to work right away (and don’t expect forum beauty) but if you want to kick it with other Blender Underground associates, operatives, and agents, come on over and register.
Hey I wanted to let everyone know that Blender Basics Parts 1 and 2 are available in Quicktime format, in case you didn’t notice the extra links in the original posts. These versions include chapters, which is very nice. This is due to the efforts of Blender Underground operative kaveh, from http://www.river-valley.tv…
If you notice any malformed sidebar widgets or funky pages over the next day or two, it’s because I’m experimenting with polls, and it might take me some time to get the styles and alignment right. Feel free to participate…
I wanted to provide a place for anyone and everyone to comment on the website or offer suggestions. This is the place. Let me know what you like or don’t like, or if you have any questions or suggestions drop me a note here. This site uses Wordpress as a CMS and is hosted at bluehost.com.
Today I updated the header graphic at the top of the Blender Underground page. Most likely I will be replacing elements from the site’s theme as time goes by. Feel free to comment.
It’s July 2 and I’m still pretty much talking to myself here at Blender Underground. But that’s OK. I expect a few visitors once I start to get video tutorials posted. We’ll see how that goes.
I’ve been checking my site’s access logs, and I have at least one visitor. Some dude named Googlebot. He checks the site pretty regularly, but hasn’t bothered to register yet.
Googlebot, bro, if you’re reading this, go on get registered and let’s turn this mutha out.
