Recently I became interested in writing Python scripts for Blender (being the new maintainer of the Kerkythea exporter I needed to get a little training), I’m amazed by the control level supplied by the API, handling/creating objects/materials, modifying meshes/IPO curves, building/animating full scenes is almost straightforward (at least for any mid-level C/C++/Java/C# programmer), creating a script of average complexity is really a matter of minutes… at the pact of sticking to “Alt+P” scripts.

Welcome to the third appointment with Blender CVS development overview; since you are all probably used to this kind of article, I’ll leave out all the cerimonials and go directly to the list of new features/improvements that the CVS official repository is actually storing.
Free software is a great thing as long as it enables us to keep our hands on tools that otherwise would be impossible to try/learn/use (mainly for economical resons), but sometimes free contents created for/with such tools are even more usefull since they supply us with something that can be used as a template for our projects; when those contents are high quality ones they become a great educational resource, and this is the case for CuteBear, a fully rigged character created by Tommy Helgevold (aka Joongle) and released on

The next major release of Microsoft’s OS, Vista, will embed a new UI subsystem called Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), part of the managed WinFX framework; WPF will introduce XAML, an XML based descriptive language which enables developers to manipulate the object model to do such things as display a 3D object in a window with a few lines of code.
Trying to make Blender run smoothly on ATI graphics equipped machines is like trying to win a dragster racing challenge riding a bike: you’re gonna loose for sure.
