About BlenderBlog
Wednesday 21st July 2004WHY BLENDERBLOG?
I've decided to learn how to use Blender and I want to record my learning experience. BlenderBlog.com will help me in understanding [and remembering] all that I will learn, and hopefully aid others in similar situtaions.
WHY BLENDER?
What draws me to Blender, apart from the fact that Blender is a professional, quality product, that it's open source and runs on various operating systems, that it performs [really] well under most hardware conditions and is scriptable with python, is the community that surrounds and supports Blender and it's users. The Blender community is [i think] unique among 3D users and developers these days. The Blender community reflects the Blender code-base, open and sharing to all.
PRODUCTION
Although BlenderBlog.com resides on a hosted vitural server in St Louis, USA, it is written mainly from a small town called Niseko, on the island of Hokkaido, Japan.
The blog software uses valid XHTML, CSS, PHP and MySQL, the web server is Apache running on Linux.
Most of the Blendering will be done in OSX, althought I often use a Linux workstation, sometimes Windows 2000 and, when there's no other alternative, XP.
