REALLY basic blender animation test

This is just a basic animation rendered on blender. My goal was just to get a simple animation on YouTube as quickly as possible lol. It took me a couple of days to learn these simple operations thanks to some tutorial help on YouTube. I'll probably be uploading new animations to track my progress.
Blender is a freeware program that is pretty deep. It's kind of addictive.

Special thanks to Super3boy for his awesome tutorial series. It really helped me get started.

thats kinda cool

@SuperBigusdikus It's a pretty cool little program, and it's free. You should see some of the stuff people come up with. It's amazing. Supposedly you can also use the program to make games. I haven't gotten that far yet.

@grits011 can you make cartoons with that?

[grits011]

@SuperBigusdikus Yeah, you can pretty much model anything you want. The modeling options are pretty flexible. I'm going to focus on geometry at first, and then later on, when I'm more comfortable, I'll try modeling some characters and animating them. Putting together an elaborate animation would probably take several nights of rendering alone, not even counting the modeling and setting up the animation.

@grits011 you could make a pool game with that huh

[grits011]

@SuperBigusdikus Yeah, I don't see why not. You just have to get the physics right.
