how do u use blender?

------------------

Ah, there's a button in the top left corner, called "Quick Fix to proffessional modelling" and it removes all the practice, time spent figuring out stuff, and reading of manuals that other people have to go through. Keep looking for, it, I'm sure it's there.

/sarcasm

I'm not wanting to discourage you, but you need to be more specific. 3D Modelling is a massive field wil thousands of different ways to make things and things to make. There is nothing that someone can tell you that will instantly make you a good artist.

Practice, can't say this enough.
Experiment. The only way to teach yourself.
Do the above, then come back here and ask specific questions. As far as I'm aware, only one person here uses blender though.
Try searching for Blender forums and help groups. There's bound to be one somewhere.
Visit the image gallery whenever you feel uninspired. There's plenty of good models to get the juices flowing, and the occasional bad one to boost your morale.
Just keep at it!

Good luck.

No probs.

You may want to write longer posts though. Go into more detail about what you're asking, and try not to shorten words. Apparently we use correct gramatical terms here. People appreciate it, this isn't an SMS, you have a whole keyboard, yeah? You requires two more letters, it ain't so hard.

Not really. I quite like my Moulinex one - it makes a really good job of pureeing tomatoes

Seriously, I couldnt say... Have a look into (url="http://"http://www.wings3d.com/")Wings 3D(/url) and (url="http://"http://www.strata.com/")Strata 3D(/url). There is an old free version of Strata that I have on my web space that people can download. Unfortunately the links arent up on the new version of (url="http://"http://www.evula.org/ewan/")my site(/url) at present and wont be until I can get some way of going online from home... Should be getting broadband installed into the flat soon but for the moment there is nothing I can do about it :frown: Sorry!

Good luck

3. Set to "mince"

I have trouble believing that you are really two different people, since your IPs are identical.

If you actually are two separate individuals, who just happen to be using the same computer, then please talk to each other in person, instead of spamming the forum.

There's another possibility - could be behind a router with NAT e.g. be attending the same university with dorm internet access. I'm pretty sure anyone in my college would appear to be using the same IP. Would possibly extend to the whole uni.

Let's hear it for schizophrenia medication!

Seriously, mikemikemike, how about you learn to type properly, ask coherent questions, stop pretending to be two people, use the search function to answer questions, capitalise sentences, and don't ask stupid questions? Then, and only then, come back and start posting again.

Just to add one tiny comment before I lock it again, the point I was making was that if they really are two people, which I severely doubt, they at least know each other, so a simple email or face-to-face communication would be the better option.
