Blender 3D - Simple Abstract Model

Sunday, September 09 2007 - blender, tutorial, art-and-design

I have been hearing and reading several posts where people have been asking for Tutorials on getting started with 3d Modeling for Games, as well as articles on where to start with Blender 3D. I did a post a few weeks back that took you through the process of getting Blender running, exporting your model and then displaying it inside and XNA Based Application. I thought that I would continue on with writing some modeling tutorials using the Blender 3D System.

So here is the first of hopefully many...

This tutorial will take you through the simple process of modeling a simple abstract shape in the Blender 3D Application, during the tutorial I will use several of the built in tools to modify the model. These tools will include the Extrude and Merge Methods, as well as Box Selecting objects and a quick look at some of the display and navigation tools.

Here is a small image of the model that we will be creating.
