Hey raymondswart great art, how did you manage the 3D look on your text. That could really be useful to me

Thanks TheGizmo, I've been experimenting with Blender which is an open source 3d modeling application. After watching the short film Sintel made by the Blender foundation I though it was about time i spent some time on learning (following tutorials to a certain degree) Blender as it has always interested me. You can find it in the repository and there are some great tutorials on wikipedia to get you started. I have found that doesn't matter how detailed or not your model is it's the lighting that makes or break it, i have used the safest option of global lighting on most of images. It is very resource hungry so don't attempt it on a lesser speck machine as you would probably have a not so hot experience.

My next goal is to get my 3d model of tux rigged up with bones so I can animate the little guy and do some video's/custom images.
