Many years ago, in a land far, far away from here ...
Mmm ... wrong time, wrong place....
Let's try that again ...
Many years ago, I discovered Blender,
a free, open source 3D animation suite.
I can't recall the exact version number I started with, but I remember it looking very complicated,
with a long ribbon of grey / green menu buttons at the very bottom of the screen.
And I remember you had to change ... things ... in many different places to get stuff working.
Something like this (found on a Blender wiki page), eg. for creating a textured material :
Ah ... fond memories of days gone by ...
Ahum.
I'm now on version 2.68. Gone are the green menu buttons, and the bottom ribbon has been moved to
the right. But that is just the default look. The Blender interface is fully customizable,
so I guess you could make Blender 2.68 look Blender 2.3-ish.
If for some reason I would want to do such a thing, that is.
Some time ago, a new renderer (called 'Cycles') was introduced. So, rather than creating textured materials like this ...
... you now have to perform magic like this :
So yeah. I guess I'll just put that on my (rather long) TODO list then ...
