This is a listing of all posts going back to the beginning of time.
Yes, time started at the moment of this blog’s first post.
There was nothing before that…
I was checking the news on Blendernation a couple of weeks ago and I found a little blurb on getting your models “3D Printed” at a site called Shapeways. They are a company based in the Netherlands that can create your model in many different materials, some even with color. From the site: “We want […]
The Bill Collectors were the greatest cause of chaos the world had ever known…until they disappeared. One day, five years later, one of them came back.
Render Filters in Blender 3D I was watching some of the videos on the Creature Factory DVD I bought from the Blender e-store. The DVD is essentially a a walkthrough of how creator Andreas Goralczyk made a short video form start to finish all in Blender. I’ll do a more thorough review of it later, […]
This is a piece I did in DazStudio 3 of The Bill Collectors. A piece like this ends up taking multiple renders to get everything the way I want it.

The Bill Collectors were the greatest cause of chaos the world had ever known…until they disappeared. One day, five years later, one of them came back. The Bill Collectors is a comic I’m working on in 3D using Daz Studio and some Blender. I’ll keep posting as progress is made.
I’ve written some before on <a href=”http://www.fantasybookbanner.com/my-projects/53-my-3d-artwork/87-daz-studiojust-too-damn-slow-progress-bar-goes-backwards-and-20-minutes-to-save.html” title=”Daz Studio…just too damn slow. Progress bar goes BACKWARDS, and 20 minutes(!) to save!”>using the free 3D program DazStudio 2</a> on my other site, but now I’ve upgraded to DazStudio 3 and I thought I would write up a guide to how I install into Daz 3.
