Vamos aqui, de forma bem simples, através da extrusão de faces, criar uma nave a partir do cubo padrão do Blender.

The face animation book Stop Staring: Facial Modeling and Animation Done Right written by Jason Osipa, it´s avaible for free to download at rapidshare. 

The book is in English and totally full in the PDF format. Worth it since its price is more than $100,00.

Criar uma vinheta animada para o evento Blender Pro 2007.

Os participantes terão liberdade para criar a animação da forma e no estilo que preferirem.

Os trabalhos serão avaliados observando-se os valores técnicos e artísticos empregados no projeto. A única restrição é que o trabalho deve se adequar ao tema, ou seja, o evento Blender Pro 2007.

Blender Pro - Brazilian Blender 3D Conference will be a Brazilian national event at São Leopoldo - RS, Brazil.

The event issues aims to make a call for the Brazilian community and to show the power of Blender 3D.

An e-mail sent to me from Ganon explains the main idea of the contest, running at the same time on several Blender Brazilian communities. "It´s a simple contest, the difference is that it would run at the same time on all community foruns (3Dzine, Blender Brasil, Blender Master e Procedural)."

Very cool script to randomly create materials. Good to see what Blender can do with materials and to learn materials configuration.

It's avaible on our repository, download it here.
