Ok … so I was going to try and use SmithMicro’s Poser Pro 7 for my rigging and posing of 3D characters in Deadland Chronicles. I was also hoping I could use it to easily model out side characters and background characters without breaking a sweat. Sadly, for whatever reason, the demo crashes without warning [...]

So I’ve been slowly (ever so slowly) working on Deadland Chronicles. I really should be scripting, but I have been doing some other models, such as the NeoTech Soldier I’ve previously posted. One of the models I worked on recently is a scene in a throne room for a character named Lady Raven. Inspiration for [...]

So when something comes out like Blender that is completely awesome I talk about it. Well, there is a video game being developed using Blender and Crystal Space (both free [...]
