Why blender?

Why did I start learning blender?
Well I supose it all started way back, I have allways been intrested in games, I was like 10 years old and planed on how to make great games with my lill brother (2 years younger then me). We planed games of the ages 13, 15, 16 it just keept going, we allways liked to plan how to make games. So i guess thats where it all started realy ^^.

Any now I recently came across a move by acident (you should watch it, the name is Big buck bunny, i'll throw it in here. Be sure to try whatch it in HD.

This is a very special movie, its a one of a kind movie. Its open source, and it's made totaly in blender. And this was where I whent like WUUT. Before one had to use expensive 3d programs to be able to make neat movies, so I just had to find out more (I was realy thrilled).


I found a home page for the game they made to the movie! and here I found out they made a game in open source (and used only blender wich is a open source program)! and here they showed how I cood make my own maps of this y0 franky game!! *One of my bigest dreams sins childhood knocked on the door, and I where holding my breath*


heres a screen shoot of there site, u can allso push the image to go over and cheak it out. ^^

Anyhow from here I saw that they even held contsts on makeing good new maps/levels in yo franky. And here I saw tutorials on how to make my own maps for the game y0 franky in a mather of few minuts, (one cood use there 3d objects sins its open source).

And the thought accured to me... If they can make this cool game and this neat movie in blender... I can learn this allso, and make my own games! *this was when my heart beat picked up in speed* I flung on the phone and called my brother and made him see the video. He rly liked what he saw, but unfortunly he dont have time to make a game and learn blender with me. (This happend 2 weeks ago, todays date: 2009-02-07)

So what did I do now? well I whanted to see more what this blender program cood make, I headed over to youtube and started looking for clips where ppl showed what they had done in blender, I was amazzed this is great stuff I tho, I throw in some movies here for you to see.



I even found out some stuff that the game enging cood make heres a vido from youtube again. and when I saw this I was realy realy exited, was this the kind of grafic my games cood come and look like if i get good enough? Well I keept seartching youtube and other sites, I found out its used in many movies that are beeing produced right now, and I got so pumped up, I almsot fainted.

Anyhow I decided I'M GONA LEARN BLENDER!! so I headed over the the blender site. (you can push the pic to there allso) and downloaded blender (it's totaly free as u now might know). And this ends the question why blender. ^^


I'm goan throw in a few of my thoughts of blender this far. (2 weeks old to blender now). first thing. It is AWSOME! one great asspect is that its opensource, and sins kinda many ppl uses blender now days (even used in spider man 2 for some animations) some of the users are good programers who help develop the code futher and blender then launches a update, so the rate at wich blender is growing at the moment is trumedus.

I heard ppl comparing blender and claiming its on even feet with other 3d products that cost well over 5k dollars. I would probly rate it abit lower (but i'm not aware of it's full capability sins i'm just 2 weeks old). Best 3d program I think is maya, price is 7k dollars. So it's never been a option for me ^^. Anyhow blender is sutch a great program I wont need anything better, and when I do, i'm sure they have allredy come new updates to blender that cover my problem ^^
