Ok, I got Blender at home and tried to make the ginger bread man. For the most part it turned out ok but he has wierd saggy armpits and a crease in the middle of his body. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? :P

10/25/10 I'm almost done making a monkey. :P Check it out.

11/3/10 I don't want my page to get too long so I won't keep old pictures of the same project. when I learn how to color him in I will re-post it.

11/3/10 new plan. I am making an army of monkeys. 11/8/10 Ugh! my simian army keeps crashing blender. Maybe the program can't take that much awesomeness?

1/30/11 Thomas I see your claim on the blender guru website and raise you one easy to use, free digital huminoid creator. Some of you may already be aware of this but for those of you who aren't, I'm talking about the magical program called MakeHuman, this program allows us to creat a great variety of human meshes with great ease. simply go to the following website: [] and click on: main, then on the right side of the page click: download, from there just follow the on screen instructions. It's compleatly free I swear. anyway, MakeHuman gives us the options to change things like height, gender, proportions, hair, ethnicity and so on, all in just a few minutes! A bit of a side warning if you're offended by the following, privates are an option, just a heads up. So, after you have created a person and you are happy with it, you can transfer it into blender. I will try to get instructions up as soon as possible to save you all from the days of frustration I endured while trying to do this, even with online instructions it's not easy. I finaly just got one in but he's one solid object so I can't pose, manipulate, or animate him. Basicly for the moment he's just so I can say I have a full person in blender. MAKE SURE YOUR VERSIONS OF PYTHON AND BLENDER WORK TOGETHER OR IT'S NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO TRANSFER THINGS!!!!

2/7/11 Ok so this is just a list of links to useful websites and a quick description of what they do, I've bolded the main uses for easy skimming. :-P [] - Tired of combing through google images for your textures? Look no further, used by the blender guru himself! just take a few seconds to set up a free account and never have problems **finding textures** again. Also includes tutorials.

[] - I don't have an account here yet, not 100% sure it's free. You can upload your own characters from blender or pick a pre-made character for **quick, easy animation**.

[] - This will probably be of use to you if you're intrested in **making a first person shooter,** it provides instructions on **how to set the camera to be controlled by the mouse**.

I'll try to update this list constantly. Bye for now :-P.

2/8/11 I feel so very dumb right now. I just found out that my makehuman, easy, few step transfer method does allow me to move and pose my people. I just forgot to look at them in edit mode.
