Sculpty: with or with out salt? Using Blender

Exper­i­ment­ing with Blender Software

As I have com­plained about before, I find myself get­ting more and more aggre­vated with build­ing the FIT cam­pus. I have torn down so many build­ings and amphithe­aters try­ing to find the sweet spot between func­tion and design. Many of the edu­ca­tional sites are great in offer­ing free­bies to help, but they aren’t just want I want.

So like every­thing I do in life, I decided to just make it myself. I think the deci­sion will kill me. After research­ing free and lower cost options for cre­at­ing sculp­ties, I decided on Blender. “Blender is the free open source 3D con­tent cre­ation suite, avail­able for all major oper­at­ing sys­tems under the GNU Gen­eral Pub­lic License.” (right from their site) I do not per­son­ally know any­one using this, every­one I know uses the heavy hit­ting pro­grams like 3D Stu­dio Max, Maya, and Sof­t­im­age. But with $50 left in my check­ing until pay­day, I think Blender is a good place for me to start.

We’ll see how it goes, I spent a por­tion of the day yes­ter­day just try­ing to become com­fort­able with the inter­face. Fin­gers are crossed.

If you are think­ing about look­ing into 3D soft­ware for use in Sec­ond Life, check out the SL wiki here, it was help­ful to me to com­pare the dif­fer­ent options.

And yes… I am blonde right now.… hussshhhhh.

I am also very excited to give a link to a new and fab­u­lous Pose store by my friend Fine Cal­iber
It is called A Fine Line — go go go
