This is something I did a few weeks ago. I got the idea from Matt's blog (check out his post). He added live action to a scene he made with Blender which is much harder than what I did. I did it the other way around.
I have decided that I need an AI (Artificial Intelligence) Player for my Car Game to make it really fun. So that's what I've been working on lately. Unfortunately making one of those is VERY hard to do. If I had to guess how much time I've spent on it in the last few weeks I would say probably 20hrs or more. Right now I have it where it can do basic turns and it knows when to slow down (most of the time ). The main problem that I have right now is how to get it to turn around when it is going the wrong way. Hopefully I'll be able to fix that soon.
If I can get it to work right I'll post a demo of it.
That's pretty cool!
On the one I did, I actually didn't use a scene as the background. It was a rendered .jpg of the scene.
fableboy101,
Not only is Blender completely free, it is open-source. Which means smart programmers (not me) can download the source code and change Blender however they want.
You can download blender here: www.blender3d.org
My name is Stephen. I am a Christian, homeschooled sixteen-year-old. The goal of this blog is to display some of the graphics I have created via Blender.
Blender is an open source 3D graphics creation program.
It lets you create high quality 3D graphics and movies, and replay real-time, interactive 3D content.
It is extremely fun!
Because my friends list was getting too long for easy navigation down my side bar, I have changed it so it will not be there by default. You can turn it on and then off again by pressing this button.
