New Blender Tutorial - Axe Part 1

********EDIT new site for them all here ---> www.users.on.net/~symes/gamedev/videotuts/videotuts.html ***********


Ok here goes another tutorial hot of the press.

For those just wanting the torrent, it is found on torrent spy here torrentspy.com/search.asp?mode=torrentdetails&id=351335&query=blender

This is part one of a series of tutorials on how to use Blender. This series is going to take you through how to create a medeival axe weapon for use in game.

*** This is aimed at beginners. If you know how to use Blender then you don't need this tutorial. ***

Nothing fancy........just the fact you'll be able to use open source Blender to create game models!!!

The catch is.....
The file is ~67.3 megs (well it is 27minutes long at 800x600), and I don't have enough room to host the "seed" avi on my ftp. Hence I'm going to try the "Torrent" (muuhahaha).

So if you don't know what Bittorrent is then I suggest you go to azureus.sourceforge.net/ and download a great program called Azureus.

Once installed (don't forget to open up the needed ports and install safepeer (built in plugin) etc) or you won't get good speeds.

Then goto torrentspy.com/search.asp?mode=torrentdetails&id=351335&query=blender

And download the torrent file (small text file) and open it up with Azureus. Then you will be downloading the avi from peers.

Note, at first this will be slow, as I am the only person on the internet hosting the file on my 12kb/s upstream connection, but as soon as someone else downloads at least 64kb, then you will have two people to download from, and so on and so on.

If anyone wants to host it on FTP anywhere on the internet, please do and just tell me where it is to be found.


BTW if that link doesn't work, just goto www.torrentspy.com and search for "blender" or "Dingo_aus" etc.
