Speaking of MS paint (Virex didn't actually refer to it as MS paint, btw ) any tips for texturing my models on blender? Admittedly, i haven't tinkered with it that much, but is there any really idiot-proof way to do it? like, unwrap a model (or part of one), and export a picture with each face outlined in black, ready to be filled in? 

No, i'm not that naive, i'd be shocked it that could actually be done in blender. But seriously, any tips for actually aligning textures on meshes?

Well, you can set the texture to wrap in a bunch of different ways (cube, plane, cylinder, etc) and then to the right, there's a window allowing you to adjust the texture all around the model.

Also. This.

No progress on the Enterprise, but i did make this:

Interesting. Would you be able to do angel wings and a halo?

o_0 'fraid i wouldn't know where to begin with the wings... i think i could do a halo tho

That will work...me thinks it would be the only one I have. ^_^

How's this? Not as nice as i was hoping to do and i just grabbed the face because it was handy.

I like it...oddly enough I like the combination. ^_^ It suits me better.....of course most people say that devil horns suit me better than a halo. I have no idea what they are talking about

[SolarShado]

Any other requests? I'll give just about anything my best shot.

also, i'm doing this: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=35351.0

It gets better:

Lost some quality by converting it to gif... but I'm still quite proud of it.

Someone's figured out how to use particles, I see.

Not bad. Pretty obviously not real, of course -- everything's too regular, from the logs to the ground to the flame itself -- but you have a good start here. There's lots of tutorials out there for making flames using particle systems; I recommend checking one out. You can do a ton of really neat things with particles once you're willing to get complicated.

I find all of this amazing!!

I wish I had more free time to toy around with this program..

I've toyed with particles off and on ever since i started playing with blender, that was the first project with a goal in mind tho.

Thanks for the tips, but i'm rather happy with it as it is for now.

I've done this:

The moon-like space station isn't the Death Star, honest! And that's not a Star Destroyer flying towards it, either!
the laser bolts were made with keyed particles.

I'm thinking about making an animation of several ships flying in and being shot at before blowing up,after adding another cannon.

nice work...if thats not a death star I'm darth vader's secret apprentice....I make rusty robots in blue sand under violet skys streaked with yellow auroa, they are quite nice...

[Derakon]

Explosions, especially animated, are tricky to make. But it'll be a good learning experience! So go for it.
