Hi there,
I just checked the finished projects. It looks nice and impressive.
All the projects in there are fully made by only Blender?
I assume Blender can do modelling and animation right?
How about the Blender game engine? Are they same with Blender?
Can Blender compete with Softimage XSI especially the hair/fur thing?
I am not into 3d even I did before in early of 2003.
Do you think i can achieve the same quality of output and fast that I can achieve in Softimage XSI or Lightwave with Blender? Or you think Blender had a long long way to go before becoming a good product?
Can blender being exported into .x or .3ds so can be used in other DirectX game engines? Or Blender 3d modeller is only suitable for Blender game engine?
Is Blender game engine as strong and powerful as Doom 3 engine? Can it supports pixel and vertex shaders? HLSL? Powerful shadows and cel shading?
Will Blender had any problems with ATI Graphics Cards? I am using ATI Radeon 9600 Ultra Pro 128MB. I know my cards had some problems with Softimage XSI and Vue 4 Professional. The software will automatically close for no reasons.
As i understand that Blender is free, so i can use it for commercial purpose? Well actually i will use blender for hobby purpose, design some 3d stuff and upload in my new website.
I notice there are many other blender forums. So is elysiun forums the most reliable? Or i should post in different forums to get a reply for my question?
I saw that Blender had a new book - 2nd edition. Is that book compatible with the current and most updated version of Blender? If yes, I would like to get a copy from them. Is it good? Anyone read it before? Good for beginners like me? Most important i can learn step by step tutorials from there.
No worries, I understand the fact to be good in 3d, it is a matter of practice and time. I won’t think of creating some advance 3d animation is such a limited time.
Maya and 3ds max are hard to use. I think Softimage XSI is easy to use but is very expensive. Is Blender as easy to use as Softimage XSI?
Ok, why not someone tell me what Blender cannot do, but softimage xsi can do? So i can know what are the major weaknesses of blender.
Will Blender works fine on windows xp professional sp1 or sp2? I notice that there are many versions of blender and running on multiple platform.
I hope someone can answer my noob doubts! Please help!
Thanks.
