Getting Started with Blender 3D and XNA

Glenn's posted a comment on one of my Blender posts to an article he's written about exporting Blender's 3D models into Game Studio Express.

Check out Getting Started with Blender 3D and XNA for more information.

I'll need to make some models first, but when I've done that this article should provide some much needed assistance.

Thanks Glenn

Brilliant Blender Tutorials

Just starting out with Blender and I have just discovered something that might be really obvious to other people out there. Linked from the Blender website is the Blender 3D: Noob to Pro guide, which I am finding very comprehensive. I feel I am beginning to get somewhere with it, rather than just staring at a very complicated looking user interface.

I'm only up to Modeling a Simple Person, but it's looking very helpful indeed.

Blender - Free 3D Modelling Software

I've had an anonymous comment left on a post in which I asked if anyone knew of anything free I could download to create some 3D models for an XNA game I want to start.

The comment suggested Blender, so I've downloaded it and given it a go. Seeing as I've done zero 3D modelling before it's going to be a steep learning curve, but there seems to be tutorials to walk you through most of it. There's DirectX's .X format in the Export list as well, so hopefully this should be all I need.

Thanks for the heads up who ever you are.
