Apple Grew has released the latest version of his Vert2Face script. The concept is simple, but its effect on you will be beyond words.

Chris has updated Sunflow!I’ve just uploaded a new version which fixes a few minor bugs and adds include search path support as well as a couple new command line options for convenience. I have made similar small fixes to the Blender exporter, relating to camera aspect ratio and finding the right objects from the scene data (Blender keeps deleted objects around for undo purposes). Get the latest from the download section!
Mariano is making leaps and bounds with the script:
You might recall our post about distributed rendering using POV-Ray and MegaPOV from Theo Gottwald. He’s updated his program to version 4.6 Distri (release candidate) 2. Here is what has been going on since the last version:- Again new, more easy Installation.
- more new Icons
- Package cleaned up
- RenderAgent now suggest a folder, and remembers the folder properly.
- New Minimizer-Sollution, for working on the PC while it is used for Rendering. Minimizes, Hides and changes CPU-Priority.
- Should work with any POV 3.5/3.6 and Mega POV 1.21
- POV-Ray 3.7 does not work with this version, it seems to produce only TGA-Files, we need BMP’s to merge them.
- Internal Optimizations, RenderAgent now takes Jobs faster.
- Installs Icons in Startmenü, Quickstart and on Desktop.
- Automatically uses POV_Settings.exe afer Installation.
- Silent-Setup-Robot included – will make the complete installation without user interaction.
This is just a pre-Release, which replaces the version 4.4.
Final 4.6 Distri 3 release in next days after some Tests.
The first Elephants Dream DVDs have arrived in Europe and the buzz in the international community is growing. Europeans have started posting the first reviews and people farther away are impatiently awaiting for the package to arrive in the mail.
After the announcement that Google was releasing SketchUp for free, there was an immediate hope that there would be a way to import models from the free version of SketchUp into Blender. Well, jms has got something that might be the answer.
If you are working on a car model (and somewhere in your Blender career you probably are) then this may come in handy: Sonix provides a car materials library for Blender with no less than 54 materials and textures.
Mariano is a scripting machine. He has already posted an update to his Blender Library script. In this version? Particle Library can now store particle systems with force fields and deflectors!
