Hmm it’s been some time again. Well things cleared up very much since last year and I’m doing some decent progress in all of my projects right now. I even have some time to model in Blender. It’s been more than 3 years since I even touched a 3D-Modeling Program. I’ve done small projects in 3ds-Max and Softimage before but blender can quite compete whith them.
At the moment I’m doing a small project to model the Stargazer-Bridge from STNG. Here’s a WIP-picture:
WIP picture of the stargazer bridge. Done with yafray.

Sometimes I’m a real feature creep and thus need to run the latest stuff available. Its like that in blender and yafray right now.
Due to the Orange-Project new features have been pouring into the main blender tree in the last 6 month so the Ubuntu-Package was quite outdated.

Thats how I found another gem: Blender uses Scons as a make-replacement.
Its a build-automation-tool made with python. So you can extend it with own scripts. Right now I’m adding Scons-Support into
my C++-Software for Paderkicker. There is also a Eclipse-Plugin available somewhere.
