[mihunai]

This is a tutorial i've been working on to show you guys how
i make my renders.

It is not yet complete, but it should help you on your way.

Allso, bear in mind that it is a steep learning curve, and it's all a matter
of repetition.

If there are any mistakes in my tutorial or you have any questions,
just send me a message and i'll see what i can do.
You can allso send requests of things you'd like me to show you, like
how to make a thumbscrew or a AV switch etc.

It may take some time to finish this, but in the meantime you can allways try
things yourself.

Great job! Probably took you forever to write all of the steps out.

Holy @$^!)! wow... that was an uber detailed DIY guide. Thanks! I'll probably never do it myself, but I'm sure someone else will use it.

Very nice , Thank You very much.:mrgreen:

[mihunai]

glad you guys like it :D

Anyway, i'll see if i can add the instructions for some final details, such as a basic background/lighting setup etc., but ill wait till you've mastered this bit :)

I'd like to see this but I can't even open the tutorial....not sure what program opens it.

[xl97]

its just a word document isnt it? (.doc)

MS Office/Word
or
Open Office

[mihunai]

It is a simple Word file, so there shouldn't be any problems....
If you dont have Word try searching for 'Open Office'.
Its pretty much a free version of the regular Windows Office.

I dont know how to do this with a Mac though, if that's what your working with...

for mac, click the link. then click the icon, it will open another window and begin a download. It will download to your "downloads" folder. open your downloads folder, locate the file "blender tutorial" and right click, or control+click it. open with text edit. Every mac has text edit. You won't see the cool embedded picture, but the text information is the same. I have them both open right now, no loss in info.
