That Thomas Frieden, he is such a tease!!!

He's uploaded two screenshots one contains a screen shot of blender the other one looks just a bit more tasty, sadly he's not saying much about it!

Anyone shed light on what the latter image is of?
- I love space/combat games.

@Mikey_C

Looks like two screenshots of Blender to me...

@Mikey_C

Yes I agree with AmiDog : the second screenshot shows a Blender rendering a space ship into a separate window.

@abalaban

That's a new design for a Go'uld ship...

@AmiGame

oh pity, I was hoping it was some form of Death Glider

Indeed

Well, both are screenshots of Blender. The second one is just rendering a different scene.

(for reference, the time on top of the Death Glider render is in seconds, not minutes )

@Rogue

Your brother is great!!!!
So what can you do to better this?

There's a problem with the car, though - the steering wheel is on the wrong side

Great :)

Nice screenshots. I have heard that Blender has a very steep learning curve though. Any one used it? Is this true?

Somewhat, yes, although the handling has significantly improved over the last few months. It used to be pretty complicated because it essentially relies on keyboard shortcuts mostly.

However, look at the gallery at the Blender homepage to see a few examples of what is possible. There's also a bunch of videos and tutorials on how it operates - that gives a good insight on it.

The program is very capable.

@Mikey_C
You could also imply Python is working pretty well...

MMMMMmmmmm.... We wants it...

@Rogue

That looks really great :)

Found any bugs in Python while porting Blender?

How complete is Blender and how stable is it?

RWO

@rwo

Thomas did all the work on Blender, I didn't do anything. So far, Python seems to work fine though.

The current compile is pretty stable, but a few things don't work at all (like the popup menus - for some reason they don't render). Basically, any form or release is quite a while off.

Other than that, the port is complete but without GameBlender AFAIR.

@Hans

I think that it is only partially true. It is worth of it anyway.

@Rogue

You tease!!!!!

Its good to see you and your brother active here, seeing post and pics like your brother has posted keeps my spirit and confidence high. ( I dont know about others)

@Curty

Honestly, there is no need for Doom and Gloom feelings, as promoted by some.
