Hi everyone! I've been learning Blender in my spare evenings, and I wanted to try something new. When I was a kid I enjoyed different interactive storybooks where you could read the story but also interact with different elements in the scene.

I find it hard to get myself to practice and I do NOT practice enough..…
Hello there Polycount, Novice to-be Animation student here with a quick question. So far, I have been using Wings 3-D to practice modeling and It's been a great program; I have to admit. Primitive compared to the Autodesk stuff etc, but great for getting my feet wet. I've made a couple things here and there, whether it be…
