Field Assignment #18  -OPEN SOURCE!!

In this assignment i was supposed to "try something Open-Source",so i gave a shot at Blender,an open-source and freely distributed program that is used for 3D modeling,art and animation.Blender's a pretty good program and its more than perfect for developers who have a low budget.It's commonly used by 3rd party developers and the program itself has many features making it extremely handy.





-The interface might look complicated but it becomes all clear after some time in using the program.



Blender is well known among most 3D artists,and it's ability of being easily customized using plug ins is more than useful.

On the animation part,blender does an okay job,it might not be something as good as 3dsmax or Maya,but it's really powerful considering its free.

Here's a trailer of a movie (Big Buck Bunny) made by the Blender foundation showing the application's capability.

Camouflage Photo



I erased her main body and made the background black to create a camouflage effect. I used the blur tool to blend the rough ends to smooth the overall feel of the photo.

Bring $1 000 000 to the star bucks on university at king St at 12: 17 and 37.745 seconds sharp. There will be a man wearing a black and white tuque. Ask him for the big cheese. He will hand you a big wheel of cheese and he'll tell you to give it to the woman at the cash after saying delivery from the Deli. She will give you a key to a storage unit after you give her the cheese wheel after you stuff the money in it. The storage unit # will be on the key she gives you. At the unit you will have to give a pass word t the security guard that the lady at the cash gives you. You will find your daughter and your camera there along with another wheel of cheese to enjoy for following instructions. If you fail this assignment you will never see your daughter or camera again. THIS MESSAGE WILLS SELF DESTRUCT IN 5…4….3….2…1!!!!!!



P.S the key to solving the password is the processed liquid from a female bovine that tastes delicious
