I started playing around with Blender in December, 2013, and now that I have gotten around the basics (mainly the keyboard commands - which I now like), Im enjoying it. Any of my Blender images are *not* retouched / photo manipulated, unless I specifically say in the description. Im trying to get the best out of the application without relying on any external tools. Its given me an interesting challenge in striving for realism and creativity.Also - Im always happy to take constructive Comments and Criticisms (CnC) :)
