Hey people, how's it going? media type="custom" key="7343617" 10/22 - 10/23 Fixed a registry error so now Blender works on my computer again... Also watched a series of tutorial vids from some guy who calls himself "the warlord." Needless to say, it creeped me out, so I just messed around and got acclimated with the layout/config instead. Outlook: Optimistic media type="custom" key="7343617" 11/5 First of all, Happy Guy Fawkes day, and I am utilizing this day off school to do some blender awesome-ness. I was getting sick of looking up keyboard shortcuts, so I got this shortcut list off BlenderGuru: Shortcut Reference Sheet. More to follow... media type="custom" key="7343617" 11/15 Just found out the computers, (or at least mine), in lab 211 have Blender! At last, my considerably wasted study hall can be utilized for something interesting! A big thanks to whoever got the software on the school computers!

Study Hall Part 2... By the time I got working with blender, I decided just to mess around with "color ramps" on the monkey head, a.k.a suzanne. They're very interesting, and from my understanding, they're pretty much like gradients with different color points and intensity. They're much more complex than they seem and this is my golden monkey head after 5 minutes.... media type="custom" key="7343617" 11/16 My further ventures with applying colors, textures and such have turned out poorly. I was trying to use this effect that solely applies a glowing color to the verticies, but it just wouldn't work. I'll try to figure it out tonight, and post my solution.
