Hope you don't mind... I've been keeping kind of a low profile on the 'dot lately, so I didn't really want to reply to your current post... so I thought I'd say hi in this old journal entry instead. I hope you'll see it!

Blender! I've been working with Blender on and off for almost a year now! I hope you'll come join us over at http://blenderartists.org/forum; they're a nice bunch of people and very helpful. Blender is somewhat painful to learn, in the early stages, but with a little help, once you get into the swing of things, it's actually surprisingly easy to use!

I also set up a website, http://blender.sakelley.org, which has some GPLed texture plugins, and not much else at the moment. I'm still (usually) to shy to post my own work anywhere... but I've done almost 200 stills, and I'm working on a short film.

If I can be of any help, please do let me know. Email's in my slashdot profile.

Good job on the sword, too! :-)

Oh, and congrats on the wedding (and on surviving it)! I haven't been posting, but I have been reading...
