^^^FAST SERVER^^^ - Emerica88, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2 Heres a mirror: http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/blender/release/Blender2.40/
- sonofalink, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2What I do is do most of my straight out modeling in a modeler such as Wings3D and import that into Blender to finish it off.
- 5blocksfree, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1^^There have been several test versions available for download for the past few weeks...what did YOU do to help identify any bugs? Nothing? Didn't think so.
- saysaknow, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Just click the "X" next to "Rate Comment" of koolaid ***** to get rid of it.

"Totally broken in OS X (Can't use menus unless window is maximized.)
Typical Open Sores quality."
You probably have an nVidia video card; the nVidia OpenGL drivers no longer support front buffer drawing. The Blender devs having been in contact with Apple to fix this. It's a problem with Apple's OpenGL implementation. How's that for Open Sores quality?! - tranix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Any Torrents?
- spect3r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Great!!
Blender is quickly becoming as powerful or even more powerful (in some sense) as packages like MAYA!
Go open source!! - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Blender is awesome, +digg.
- spyres, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is an excellent update.
The new hair creation features are dead simple to use and the fluid generation is impressive. - moshguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Thanks liz4rd. Looks like the "digg effect" is taking it's toll on the blender3d server.
- daitangio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0One of the best software I used. It is a bit complex but a lot simpler than Auto Cad in my own opinion.
I throw away PovRay after two tutorials and two quicktime movies done.
Under mac you can mount your video using iMovie and music from iTunes and it rocks!! - daboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i've been using blender since i was twelve, over five years ago.
I swear by it.
i was using the test builds of 2.40 as they were building it. i love it.
i'd suggest you guys to head over to http://www.elysiun.com/forum/index.php for more info on Blender. this is the blender community's main forum. It's where all the love's at.
props to jtuttle for the digg. spread the word, my friend.
oh yeah, my elysiun forum user name is afrosk8er88. what are you guys's? - 5blocksfree, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0>> oh yeah, my elysiun forum user name is afrosk8er88. what are you guys's?
I've been using blender for quite some time (since about .7something I think, and recently re-registered at elysiun as nearlydone.
@ UrbanLegend >> But hell its so hard. Never was an artist, ya know.
Yes, it will be at first - stick with it and you will be amply rewarded. : ) - Vektuz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0We have moved our entire art department to blender3d. Its free, its EXTREMELY extensible, highly customizable, and ... well, once you learn the keyboard layout, its actually FASTER than the 'classic' apps like Max/Maya... in the same way as a FPS computer game (WASD) would be faster reaction time than click-to-move RTSes. (wow, what analogy)
- UrbenLegend, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0wow. Never knew blender was this popular!
I just discovered blender because it came with suse 10.0 and I didn't think much of it at first, but when I checked out the gallery, WOW! It got me so interested that I am going through tutorials like wildfire. But hell its so hard. Never was an artist, ya know. - shishira, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0and thanks for the download links
- 5blocksfree, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0assassimon: because someone spammed a metric buttload of comments to the topic, and they were all blocked using the "X" link next to the raing popup.
- ghelton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0bout time

Yes I was, my apologies...by the time I got done typing my response, a few others had slipped in before mine. I thnk I won't be doing the "^^" any more : ) - ashanks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The developer team did a great job on this. Looks awesome. Keep up the good work!
- saysaknow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Great. Didn't embed. :(
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1The price for Blender cannot be beat. But it looks like its eaiser to fly the space shuttle than use it sometimes.

I have submitted bugs to the bug tracker before; I've never used the Mac version before. You must be talking about diggsuckscock. - shishira, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0woot been using blender since a long time now and nice to see the amount of development that has gone into it . . . anybody have the diresct download link
thanks - shishira, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The UI gets some time getting used to but once you get the hang of it . . . for a start hit 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 in your numeric pad . . .
- click81, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is good to hear. Too bad the server has been hit so hard.

- Sibertank, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0whoa.. there are like 700 comments.. and there all blocked :D
- CptnObvious, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Just look at that water! wooooooooooow....it makes me envious I can't do that, someone put up some video tutorials using the new features
- ahdustin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Nice to see that 400 of those comments are auto blocked when I read the comments.
Comment rating is teh *****. - zonk3r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0nice. next, please fix the UI. it's about as intuitive for most beginners as rocket science for toddlers...
- dataloss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0No wonder!
I'm about to go on a Christmas trip, and decided to download it to play with Blender to help with the occasional family avoidance thing, but was having a really had time getting to the site. Completely independant of the upgrade release. Then I check digg...
OIC.

and let's let all know about the block feature - Scyree, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0thanks to liz for hosting the file, hope you dont get a huge bandwidth bill this month! planetmirror and the blender site are both unresponsive as of 1:30am PST
- Cheeseness, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0My first thought was "Awesome, everybody wants to talk about Blender."
- briguyd, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Spam?
- Cyberdactyl, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Ahhhh the spamming childMEN....what would we do without their crave for attention?
- barbobot, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1People with "koolaid" in their handle are usually refering to the color of their penis. Usually a bright red or purple or blue. They gain this color from constant masturbation, the coloring is usually very visable from afar and you can always tell these "Koolaids" from their idiotic comments, script kiddie directories (i.e. W4r3z) and generally all around stupidity.
If you spot one of these specimen in public, theres really no need to hold back, just pull out a revolver and shoot him in the head. Believe you me, the world and he will be better off for it. - saysaknow, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0This will be some horse ***** if this makes it to the front page. I've been submitting Blender related news. +Digg
