BTS : Avatar Creations 2014

Does anyone here use Blender? (And I don't mean for making smoothes...). I'm trying to learn it but I'm really unfamiliar with this type of software. Whew! Will have my head in manuals and tutorials a loonnnnggg time before I will have anything worth showing. Or perhaps never. But anyway, I'm going to give it a go over time... Wish me luck!

First attempt at a custom gif.



Think I might go lie down now....

Spooky, 74Templar!! Woot! Congratulations!!!

(Like a dolt I thought Timely had made that originally - I have now edited my post to praise the appropriate person!! Sorry!)

- AB

I love, love, love the creativity that comes out of this thread! (And not just you, dear Cody, although Mum always likes yours best!)

Would anyone be so kind and Halloween-ize my avatar, either decorating the present one or giving me a whole new vamp? I desperately need a diversion from the Ebola doom-n-gloom. Nothing with buboes, please!

a reply to: 74Templar

What a top effort mate!

Thank you, you always come through!!
I'll try it on when I get home from work ( need a laptop - can't drive this darned tablet very well ).

Cheers ... :-)

I've never said this before, but your avatar makes me shudder...

I think it's the eyes.

Evil lemur perhaps?

These two guys on YouTube helped me out a lot when I first started using Blender. Maybe you will find them helpful as well. I really enjoy using Blender!

Major thanks!!! I am very new to it and quite humbled by all I do not have a clue about...hopefully I will find my way. MOST appreciated!

No problem, any time! It's time consuming to learn all little things and what not but stick with it! You can do some pretty amazing things with software like that. And if you can't think of anything to attempt to model, playing with the physics engine is always entertaining.

a reply to: 74Templar

Hehehe! Speaking of that ...

You have succeeded in giving mine the perfect halloween flip -

With the added bonus of freaking even ME out !! lol ...

Hi mum

I don't know the animations side of this stuff but I'll have a go at something for you a bit later if you like. Anything in particular ? Or just get on with it ?

Love to dad

Prodigal son.

ETA: I found this old photo of you, you could use this

a reply to: graceunderpressure



I found this one, I just had to share because of the way he/she looks at you.


Are you talkin' to me?

And finally the Quazimodo of all lemurs:

poor fella

a reply to: Rainbowresidue

Hey RR!
Is that bottom one related to Cody at all?
Definite family resemblance there.

I had to laugh.
Aw, thanks for the chuckle.

I don't think so, but the poor fella is one of the ugliest lemurs I've ever seen.
It also somehow looks kind of hungover.

a reply to: Rainbowresidue

Oh, that is SO cool! Thank you!! I'll be sporting the fanged lemur when I return from a weekend trip. But i must admit, I lost my heart to quasimodo lemur.

Cody, son, sorry about the family resemblance. (It's really your dad's side.)
