I seem to be going through a “let’s do a logo for this community project” phase. Just an observation, and not a complaint, because I’m a staunch supporter of the the “Open” movement and am glad that this is one way for me to do my bit. My latest cause is the Open Clip Art [...]

I have used Blender for professional work before, so I though it was only right to use Blender when illegal_ops put out an open call for a logo for a new Blender community site, BlenderCG.com. The logo is now up on the site as the header/masthead. It’s a new site built to provide many Blenderheads [...]

I used the obj_io script to export the main objects to .OBJ files from Blender. These files were then opened in UVmapper Classic, a free program that unwraps meshes [...]
