Short Sword

It does look simple enough to be modeled. Well, sort of.. But I must say! I like it! But the only thing I'm quite not satisfied... the handle.. its not balance and is very edgy. Ruins the quality even for a simple sword.

Well, I may fix it later, when I have time to return to it and fix it.. Right now I want to focus on learning how to make a ship, like a pirate ship. Yeah, lets just try that!

On a second thought.. I'll make it day by day instead of straight 2-3 hours. Beginner's problem maybe. Funny!

'T3' Helmet!

Yes! Success with my very own made Marine helmet! well, its just a simple one really, took me an hour. I used the plain head to ensure the size of the helmet. But, I guess this is a good, simple model for a beginner!

Not textured... So sad because I am totally bad in texturing. Anyways, I would love to give this helmet a name, maybe.. 'T3'? :D
Well, that would be it for a while I guess. But umm.. If I didn't figure out a good name then that it will be!

After finishing the helmet, the one on the left, which is the backside of the helmet looks quite plain. I may want to add a pattern or decorate it some more. It should look better ones I get some good textures for it. (Try hard!) :)

A Book!

Wow, thats all so far I can say about this book model. I mean, for my second model, this is actually good! An un-textured version of this of course, I got 2 textures that I tested on this and hey! Its a job well done for a beginner!

Sure I use different pose for each different texture of the book, lets just say it is the book cover. I still want to add a bit in here though. Maybe a pattern across the book cover, like Lord of the Rings book!

I was raging 20% of my time can't figuring out how to do this, but then I tried turning on and off some options and it solve the problems. Weird, huh? Well! I'm satisfied! Oh, I can't wait to show you the helmet! A simple Marine helmet made in 1 hour.

I must say it looks good! I'll show it to you soon!

Plain Head!

Blender 2.5 on Ubuntu Oneiric!

I currently am trying to make a helmet, of course I'll be using this head I made to calculate the size of the helmet! Actually, its quite simple to model this kind-of head. Since it's plain, no mouth, no eyes, nose and ears.

While modeling this head, the first thing I thought is I should texture it with skin texture. Well, on a second thought it doesn't seem to deserve a texture. But I'm enjoying the fun moments modeling this, since its easy for a beginner! So, for a beginner I don't really know the numpad controls yet. I'll see what I can find!

Oh! And the neck isn't a different model, to make the neck I just simply select a few points, press E and drag it down! There you go. And about the helmet, I should make a simple but yet fun one. Yeah! Lets just do that!

Getting started!

Lets start with the mouse controls! So, holding the middle mouse button and move your mouse around allows you to rotate in 3D space! I still need to get use to it.. Also am able to zoom in and out by scrolling the middle mouse button!

Good so far! Now, I can pan around by holding the Shift key and middle mouse button and moving the mouse around. Well, I accidentally tried something while experimenting the mouse buttons in Blender.

I hold right mouse button and drag the object around then let the mouse button go. I then, continue by clicking the left mouse button and it dropped the object there! I still don't know how to put it back in the center again though.

I'm trying to find out what is the circle thing when you click your left mouse button on the stage and the camera thingy, its function.

Wow, there's a lot more to experiment! I'll see what I can do by pressing some numbers on numpad. Till' then!

3D modeling tool!

My first post here will be about my 3D modeling tool! A free 3D modeling tool named or called as Blender! Though the interface is confusing, but lets just get use to it and learn from mistakes!

I might be going to find help and infos around the internet. Maybe even browse Blender's manual if I get stuck over something while modeling. Even so, I heard that its one of the most powerful 3D modeling tool world-wide!

I will start using it to achieve my dream to become a good 3D modeler! Maybe I can help game developers or even make mods for certain games! Now let the 3D experiment begin!
