Hi Bart;

Few month ago, me and a colleague had an interview in Publish magazine (from Graficus publishers) with mr. Alex Kunst.

In that meeting i gave him the tip to do omething about Blender, of which he never heard of.

To my pleasant surprise mr. Alex Kunst picked this up, which resulted in a verry positive article in this magazine (i believe the june edition).

Publish is a leading magazine for creative professionals.

perhaps you can contact them to ask for this edition for your archives

cheers

spong, a friend of mine told me the other day that there’s a writeup about Elephants Dream in this month’s issue of Desk:top, the popular Australian design and graphics magazine. I haven’t been able to find a copy yet myself to verify, but hopefully will soon.

I wish we had more blender related excitement down here in Australia…
I might go make some noise about it :)

A Brazillian newspaper? That’s a lot of papers. A Billion is a lot. But a Brazillian, that’s just too much.

An article about the in germany well known “heise-verlag” (http://www.heise.de), a publishing house, which showed a comparison on the IFA (http://www.ifa-berlin.de) in Berlin between PAL and HDTV: http://www.golem.de/0609/47547.html

In some cases a PAL-Signal seems to look better then HD on a “HD ready”-Display.

@Greg,
Very glad you enjoyed it, it was a pleasure putting it together. In all, I used Blender for the basic modelling, SharpConstruct for detailing, then imported both models into XNormal to generate normal maps. Finally, I used the humble notepad for editing the md5 files and doing the various scripts. I will ask Adam (PCF Editor) if he’ll allow me to post the stuff online somewhere, but I have to say I dont think its likely. Anyway, once again, glad you liked it!

I noticed a dutch magazine about desktop publishing had a three page review of Blender this month, quite praising mostly because of Elephants dream

“MeiaLua”, i have seen one of your tutorials in this mag, too bad, there was just only the modeling part, but i enjoyed it :)
(did not buy the rest of the mag, because lacking of money :D )
can i have a favor? pls, can you post your video files (or write a html tutorial) on the net? in the mag there was a few picture from the finished model with normal maps, did you made those as well with blender? how? :)
