		<description><![CDATA[Well, I&#8217;ve finished the Blender Introductory Tutorial. You can see Gned&#8217;s pretty damned happy about it. I think he was tired of me poking at him. I followed the tutorial pretty closely, though there were places it differed wildly from my version of Blender. Thankfully, things are laid out in a pretty intuitive fashion, so <a href="http://tententacles.com/2011/09/16/gned-walks-and-talks/" class="excerpt-more-link">[&#8230;]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today, at lunch, I got into some basic rigging for Gned, in Blender. For those of you not familiar with 3D modeling and animation, rigging is the process of adding bones, that are linked to the mesh, to create an armature that will be used to make posing the 3D model easier for the purpose <a href="http://tententacles.com/2011/09/15/101/" class="excerpt-more-link">[&#8230;]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Before I head off to the oral surgeon, to have two wisdom teeth extracted that should probably have been removed twenty years ago, I decided to play around with textures and materials in Blender. I kind of had an idea of how I wanted Gned to look and, surprisingly (and with the aid of <a href="http://tententacles.com/2011/09/13/in-anticipation-of-pain/" class="excerpt-more-link">[&#8230;]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; For one reason and another, which I won&#8217;t get into in this post, I&#8217;ve been looking to do some 3D modeling again. Years and years ago I learned to use 3D Studio Max, and later Maya, but it&#8217;s been a long long time and, frankly, those packages are prohibitively priced for just goofing around <a href="http://tententacles.com/2011/09/12/and-i-though-blenders-were-just-for-drinks/" class="excerpt-more-link">[&#8230;]</a>]]></description>

Rather than build a barn from scratch, we went down to Home <a href="http://tententacles.com/2011/09/11/of-old-sheds-and-nasty-bugs/" class="excerpt-more-link">[&#8230;]</a>]]></description>

I&#8217;ve since upgraded it to Windows 7, but that&#8217;s less important than the fact that I, avowed M$ hater, have installed an M$ operating system on my precious, always faithful, never crashing computer.
