I recently spotted an incoming link from the Chinese BlenderCN.org website. It turned out this site has quite a few translated BlenderNation articles, and I quite enjoyed browsing through it. Doing so re-kindled my idea for setting up translated subsites of BlenderNation.
Using a Blender python script called m3g_export, you can export Blender scenes in an M3G file format or java class for use with java mobile phones.

Here is a heads up on how everything turned out.
Do you remember the Cloth Modifier? Well, it’s still in development by Todd Koeckeritz (zaz) and Daniel Genrich (genscher).
