Maya Pyramid

My first Blender object of my own. I've uploaded the OBJ file to Terranuts. Help yourself to it here...but remember it is my first one :-)

BlenderCourse

I've been giving blender another go. I didn't get very far with it the last time I tried...I just found myself following the steps in the tutorials without really taking in what I was doing. I'm sure the tutorials I used were fine - I blame my short attention span and eagerness for quick results!

Anyway, I found a little course here which seems to fit better with the way my brain works...a few short lessons with a challenge to try yourself after each one. These are some of the results I produced from the course.

In the air tonight

This song seems to be everywhere at the minute...chocolate adverts, greatest hits albums, compilation albums...so I decided to jump on the band wagon!

A little bit of googling and I discovered that he'd used a Roland CR78 for the electronic drum pattern. Then I found some free CR78 drum samples here. All the rest was done using VST instruments & effects either from the Computer Music magazine DVD or downloaded from other free sites.

Still - isn't it amazing how they got that gorilla to play the drums :-)
