If someone wants to DL and rehost for the good of the site...it's available.

If you have interest post here or PM me and I will send you the account info.

Ok, guess no one wants to learn blender.

Waste of time...

nope...

People on here would rather ask someone else to do it:P

[Guest Donkey]

Not just here, that is everywhere. Doing the hard work is very time consuming in the end not very rewarding, why do it if others will do it for you ?

Learning blender alone is very time consuming. The only thing i was interested in was animating, but every tutorial always try to get you to learn other parts, and when i finally got to the chapter of animating it was not explained well enough what a waste of time that was. Then i just refused learning any tutorials at all and started to do it my own way, that worked much better.

I really really like too, but damn, mt school choose me for out foundation day as an MC to the cosplay event.

I hope someday a free one week tutorial comes again.

beyond my non-existant skills

I'd be interested in making my own mods and thus would be interested in learning about Blender -- not to mention GIMP and Nifskope as well -- but I'm leery of biting off more than I can chew...

Sorry, I only had one pass leftover for access to Lynda.com's training database. First come first serve.
