I know this is old news, but I like to rant on anyway!  With Blender, you don’t really have to pay for super, super expensive 3D animation software to be able to create great 3D animated art works and films.  If you don’t believe me, all you have to do is just take a glimpse at various snapshots of famous works by various companies in the short film clip right after the break.  The snapshots of various beautifully crafted 3D artworks and films were essentially, carefully pieced together in a short film clip to show how far a free but powerful 3D animation software known as Blender has progressed.  Watching the film clip, one would have thought that the works within might have been created by some super expensive 3D animation software.  You can check out this very film clip right after the break.

Convinced?  If so, you might have wondering why on earth people are still paying for super expensive 3D animation software, right?  Well, I think it’s depending on how one perceives his or her favorite brand.  Actually, not to put it so blandly, it’s probably more about how one would be able to use a specific 3D animation software in the most effective and efficient manner.  One example among many would be to create a short 3D animation work for an advertisement film clip in a very short period of timeframe but yet the quality of the work must not feel rush.

So, perhaps we cannot really compare one superb 3D animation software against another just as superb.  Nonetheless, we can always look at what available special features that are uniquely belong to a specific 3D animation software and make a determination on why one should go learn, buy, and use such a specific 3D animation software.  Luckily, Blender provides enough amazing features that are capable in allowing so many people to take up Blender and create great 3D artworks and animated films.  Best of all, Blender is free of charge.  What do you think of Blender?

Personal note:  I too might have to take up Blender when I have more spare time.  By saying this, I mean I want to learn how to use Blender soon enough.  Obviously, the video above has stimulated my ambition in exaggerating my imagination in 3D.

My Little Fun Trip To Georgia Guidestones, Using iPad 2 To Snap Them Images

Jun 6, 11 3:38 AM

Intrigued by the story of an American stonehenge, and so I decided to take a little trip there.  Fortunately, it wasn’t too far from where I lived.  Two to three hours drive wasn’t so bad, and so it was a fun little trip.  Anyhow, a friend and I took a little trip to Georgia Guidestones.  The rumor has that Georgia Guidestones, a large granite monument in Elbert County of Georgia (USA), was funded and instructed to be created and placed in its specific location by a man who had not revealed his identity.  It was said that he had spent around $500,000 to erect Georgia Guidestones and had the people who helped him erect this very monument to not reveal his identity to anyone, ever.

The belief was that this stone was erected for several reasons.  Some people thought that the stone was created to guide future generations who might survive the end of the world as we know it.  Some other people believed the stone was erected for purely attraction.  Then there were some people believed the stone was erected for a cult.  Whatever the reason or reasons were for someone to erect this monument in Georgia in June 1979, the stone did have one controversial commandment in which it advises its believers to maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.

Anyhow, I took couple pictures of Georgia Guidestones with my iPad 2, and you all can have a look of these pictures right after the break.  (Disclaimer: Essayboard and its creator, me (Vinh Nguyen), do not support or dictate the meaning of the Georgia Guidestones’ messages and the stone itself in anyway of shape or form.  The meanings of the messages that inscribed on the Georgia Guidestones are of the creator of the stone itself.  It’s just a monument that I, Vinh Nguyen (and a friend), has visited and now share the images that I’d took with iPad 2 for your enjoyment.  – I heard, I came, I saw, and I took couple pictures.)

Check out images in original sizes (bigger sizes) at Essayboard’s Flickr set of Georgia Guidestones.

Additional information:  I used iPad 2 to take the pictures of Georgia Guidestones.  Has to mention this since this is a technology blog!  Enjoy!
