The deadline has been extended!Â
The Retina Software contest for a realistic cityscape made in Blender is accepting submissions up to midnight July 30th, 2006. The prize is 500 big ones ($500 USD)… and maybe more. It’s important to note that the model, while being rendered in 3D, will only be used as viewing from a top-down perspective, so keep that in mind when designing. More details on the contest can be found on the company’s site.

Christian Krupa of Shroomstudio has posted about a promotional video for a band called Fightstar that he (and others) made using Blender (and I imagine other tools).
It’s that time of the year again! Just before Siggraph we publish a compilation of the greatest Blender work to show the rest of the world what we’ve been up to and what Blender is capable of.
BlenderArt Magazine is the free periodic Blender Magazine that covers one or two specific themes in each issue. This issue’s theme is Modeling Techniques and Python Scripts. If you’re looking for character-, low-poly- o treemodeling tutorials, be sure to check it out!
We are excited… extremely excited. Excited enough to post about the upcoming events.
After the release of the ClubSilo demo, we were all reminded that the Blender game engine still can rock the casbah. Lucky for us, the talented people that develop and/or use the game engine are nice enough to share tips and tricks with those who are willing to look at them.
