Over at Blender Development we’re starting to see some interesting videos as people test out the new smoke system being developed by Daniel Genrich for the 2.5 release. If you haven’t been keeping an eye on the main blog, then here’s a roundup of the latest developments.
A while ago we posted about a game ‘Foreign Legion : Buckets of Blood’ which was nearing completion. Now the team are happy to announce that both a windows and mac version are available to buy!
We wrote about this project earlier in the year, and it seems the guys working on ‘Tube’ are making great progress. The release of the project’s second trailer has just gone online and its looking very cool!
Recently entered into the Blender Game Contest was a beautifully made game entitled ‘Megagolf’ by Supersocks on BA. This is a true example of what can be achieved currently with the BGE, both with graphics and gameplay.
Endi has just informed us of a commercial game being made by him and the team he is currently working with. The game is called ‘Ignite’ and is a car racing game for the PC.
The Blender Store or ‘E-Shop’ has just had a major makeover. Now its looking more pro than ever!
Yet another handy tutorial from Jonathan Williamson, this one is about how to use projection painting, a new feature in 2.49.
A few days late, but still worth mentioning. The winners for the Blender Game Engine Contest have been announced. We’ve published a couple of articles about this contest in the past, so congratulations to the winners!
Jonathan Williamson has just posted a overview video of 2.5 so far, demonstrating some of the changes we’re seeing coming to the next big release and redesign of Blender.
The game contest (being run by malCanDo) has been going for a few months now is into the final stage: Voting.
