Happy 2008!!

  Published by Bart on January 1st, 2008 in Art, BlenderNation

newyear.jpgFrom the entire BlenderNation team, let me send you the best wishes for 2008! We raise our glass you, the Blender Community, for making this little 3D app such a huge success. The activity in 2007 was amazing: development was faster than ever, the artwork is getting better and better, more and more tutorials and other documentation have been written, and the amount of activity in all the international Blender communities is unbelievable.

We'll keep on covering all this to our best abilities, but let me ask you: what are your personal Blender goals for 2008?

(Thanks to Victor Silva for the cool picture!)

    My Blender goals for 2008 are to finish my music video project, use Blender for more commersial work, and to increase my Blender knowledge and skills, hopefully to a level where i can start contributing back to our amazing community in some way.

    Happy New Year to you all !!!

    Happy new year everyone!

    My Blender goal for 2008 is to start blending again and end this creativity blockade that lasts for over a year now… :-(
    Still no idea how to achieve that goal though.

    The only thing i have done in Blender in 2007 is a screw nut for a customer's 32*32 windows icon ;-)

    Happy New Year!

    I have to pick up Blender again. Too many things have distracted me away of it the last few months.

    Nice work Victor! Did you model those laces, or is that a layered texture?

  11. 11 fraek Edit Link Jan 1st, 2008 at 4:31 pm

    happy new year `…

  12. 12 michael Edit Link Jan 1st, 2008 at 4:42 pm

    My goals are for it to finally have voxels, have demolitions and explode modifier in it instead of in a seperate build, and I plan to do some cool specialeffects

  13. 13 Dion Moult Edit Link Jan 1st, 2008 at 4:44 pm

    My Blender targets will be (yes, I'm already in the progress of making a movie-quality animation) to work more on that animation. I've taken a long break and I think I should GET BACK TO BLENDER. (sorry, programming, I love you too, don't worry)

    I will also see how I can contribute to the upcoming BlenderLife (search on blenderartists for the thread)

    I will also be hopefully giving some clever upgrades and stuff to the Blender Model Repository. If YOU can't think of something to do, then just submit your models to the BMR! http://e2-productions.com/repository/

    my goal is to work faster on my models and movies

    Happy New Year from the readers!
    My Blender goals: To create my first cartoon animation within a team, to create more advanced models, especially characters, and to apply knowledge from other apps to Blender.
    Here's hoping that this year is better than the last one!

    to be able to fully learn blender to express my ideas in the best way i can visualize them

  22. 22 Chris Edit Link Jan 1st, 2008 at 8:12 pm

    I compiled Blender last year. And this year I hope to get working with the code to improve the video editing aspects of it. I want the editor good enough to use as a central video editing application for me.

  23. 23 Yorik Edit Link Jan 1st, 2008 at 8:25 pm

    Happy new year everybody!

  24. 24 Kreon Edit Link Jan 1st, 2008 at 9:22 pm

  25. 25 neobloodline Edit Link Jan 1st, 2008 at 9:48 pm

    My goal is to finally learn all the facets of blender and the internal/external renderers… but since you all keep adding such cool stuff so rapidly I've decided to accept that's never going to happen 8 )

  26. 26 Steven Edit Link Jan 1st, 2008 at 9:54 pm

    My goal is to create a movie in blender that people cant believe is even fake

  27. 27 Tynach Edit Link Jan 1st, 2008 at 10:26 pm

    I want to finish my Dalek, and make a low-poly version of it to make a game out of it.

    I also want to see a game and another movie made from Blender. In other words, FINISH PEACH AND APRICOT!!!

  28. 28 Sergeant Oreo Edit Link Jan 1st, 2008 at 11:28 pm

    Happy new year! My art resolutions are to learn to animate and to do lots of blending (and to keep learning anatomy of course) xD

    My goal is to produce more tutorials, and help welcome more new users to Blender, all while improving my own knowledge and skills; and then to figure out all the new functionality of 2.50!!!

  31. 31 epat Edit Link Jan 2nd, 2008 at 12:07 am

    Surprisingly enough, my goal is to try really hard not to code any new stuff into blender, otherwise I'll fail all my exams and my ambitions to become a guitarist will be completely ruined! :( The trouble is … it's so distracting!! (and I've started to tinkle with some code now as well - gulp…) Oh well, hehehe… ;)

    Happy New Year everyone! =)

  33. 33 Kernon Edit Link Jan 2nd, 2008 at 5:27 am

    I hope to be able to create many more tutorials with a greater emphasis on modeling and animation. And, to finally get a REAL website setup!

    Good luck to everyone and have a Happy New Year!!

    My ultimate goal is to finish my 3d animation. Hopefully 3 months from now the animation will be complete.

    Good Luck to you all! Happy New Year!
