Vid 37 - Blender level design

Finally have another video up.  I go into the basics of Blender and how we will use it to make levels.  It is pretty rudimentary at this point and I am definitely not a modeler, but it should get you started.

New video!

Just got done with another video and will be posting it tomorrow.  I got a very basic level layout done in Blender and imported it to Shiva.  I will tweak it with some twists and turns in the next video.  I also played with setting up another level in Shiva, so I will do a video for that soon as well.

3DConnexion SpaceNavigator profile for Blender 2.5

I had a request from my YouTube channel for the SpaceNavigator profile I use in Blender 2.5, so here it is: http://sites.google.com/site/subspacegames/blender.xml. Feel free to use it and modify it all you want.  If you have no idea what I am talking about, my video for the SpaceNavigator is here.

Demo of using the 3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator in Blender 2.5 and Shiva

 

I had a user ask for a demo, so I spun up this video.

SpaceNavigator in Blender and Shiva

 

The new version of Blender does not support the 3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator yet, so I did some searching and found information on the Blender forum.  The video shows some of the basic features of the 3Dconnexion beta software.  The other great thing is that this new software gives you the ability to use the 3D mouse in just about any program.  It has done wonders for using Shiva!
