Which button do you press for 0:04? G?

[ward7299]

@Klotzerine if you're talking about the selection with falloff, it's called the "proportional editing" tool, and it's the little blue target/circle shape there at the bottom of the 3D viewport, just to the right of center

[Riyuzakisan]

this was very interesting to see it start from scratch and see the end result

how often were you saving to restore it after those crashes? or was it set to autosave once in a while?

[ward7299]

@Riyuzakisan the crashes were mostly taking place during the texture paint session; and those were only really causing problems with the texture map. the model itself didn't really need to be saved very often at that point, just the texture.

was it hard for you to change from blender 2.49 to 2.5?

[ward7299]

@coolymichael it was. it took me a long time to start using it, but now i'll never turn back :D

David Ward is the spice.

The spice must flow.

Oh, and Dobby there has gotta clean it up.

i like these because even though its playing so fast it gives a quick overview on how to textureize and build items in blender and you did an amazing job with the elf

[Lifeofa1]

[psikotikgothly]

Only... Amazing!

[Tazy50]

This is good. But probably unriggable.
