I hope that these are good links for the Blender.org coders.

I was wondering if any of the Blender Game Engine developers had glanced at video demos from the upcomming Halflife2 game. Did Halflife 2 spark any ideas in your mind for the new Game Blender? I loved that realtime radiosity and those dynamics.

Thanks lusque! Just what I needed.

IS is possible to create an executable realtime screensaver from Blender? Or can you just export the game code from Blender and add some lines of code that will allow your Blender realtime work to be lanuched as a screensaver. Then finally compile that code as an exe.?

This (a)-(b) distinction is not really fair. Artists consider things 'cool' too, hence the bells & whistles you can see in 3d packages, which are seldom used... and I've seen 3d coders doing 'cool' things that have helped artists in ways they couldn't even imagine. We just need both dude! The real ...

With the new Opteron chips making an intro into the PC workstation area has any thought been given to developing a 64bit version of Blender?

I know that this information on the Finding Nemo Film will get some of the Blender dynamics coding people thinking-

I have bee trying to get Pixie to work with the new Tuhopu Blender 2.25 with no success. Are there any good Blender to Rib export tools that are ready to test now in Blender 2.27?

JA-I've always been able to acheive more than satisfactory results from Blender's renderer. Is it prman? Of course not. Can it get better than most of the stuff you see in the WIP forum on elysiun? Absolutely. I think that 80% of Blender users just don't spend the time learning to push the renderer...

We want photoreal features like Yafray but without the waiting Yafray doesn't render quite as fast as Blenders Scanline renderer. I have some test that I did for one of the city scenes that I'm working on. I used 26 array lights to accomplish "faked GI". I will post the render if anyone wants to se...

The main thing that I want to see improved is the Blender scanline process in which the renderer interprets photoreal lights, surfaces and shadows. We want photoreal features like Yafray but without the waiting. What steps are taking place now in this, area?

Thorax Wrote: I'm not sure if OOM was done with Blender, but if it was I'd like to see a behind the scene's documentary.. I am planning to do some character animation soon, and never have been able to do much with blender in that area.. But if I get something that works I'll share it with all of yo...

I just had the crazy notion to download Maya's Personal Learning Edition. I intended to learn advanced character animation techniques with Maya. I have been told that Maya hosted the best character animation tools known to living and breathing humans. All that aside, has the Maya licensing practice ...

First this is not a "How do I use Blender Forum"- This forum is for Blender program developements and questions and suggestions thereof. Moving along- OBJ export was designed for AliasWavefront? And it was just until recently that apps like lightwave could somewhat handle the obj file format with st...
