Hello Frances

Thanks!

Re: Blender

Yes, the first and third ones (Horizon and Holy) were made with Xara and Blender. The second one (Chrome) was made solely in Blender.

The last two pictures (the floating "Bobs") were made in Blender. The lifesaver, I made from scratch... a (white, flattened) torus for the main ring, which I added the very slightly larger red sections. The rope around it was made from a very skinny torus, which I then deformed so it looked like the rope hangs down in between the securing rings (four, each of which are two differently-sized half-toruses).

Here's another one, made entirely with Xara...

The fur should look familiar to you. (took the easy, Eye Candy, way)

Here's another Xara one...

Good job on the chocolate, Frances. Just my luck, there appears to be none in the house, presently!

Peace

Not a good look for furniture.......

**ODdOnLifeItself** · 24 August 2011, 03:53 PM

It'll take more than Pledge to get that dust off.

Good job, Penny

This is a fun thread.

How did you deform the text in your second example. I have been searching for how to do this. I need to create some text that appears to converge on the horizon (like Star Wars). Thanks.
