Point for masochism, but you could have done that much more easily in Blender.

Hehe. Nice 3D in a 2D app

yea but unfortunately I don't have blender and I also don't know how to animate with blender, I don't even know how to put on textures with blender just simple modeling and supersampling. By the way you are pretty good at modeling Twey. I saw your art in your website. I give you a Hats off.

Thanks drj33.

Hey, it's free. And there are tutorials. Quite a few of them. It's not the simplest tool to use, but you can (eventually) do just about everything that's possible with more user-friendly editors, and usually with better control.

Heh, thanks

I disagree though. The gingerbread man was originally a stage on one of the tutorials, which I modified somewhat, so it's pretty decent. The other is less impressive, since I created it myself.

Yea I know it's opensource and I used it some times ago(also used anim8or) and I also read some tutorials but never found one related to animating with blender

. But now the computer I am using is not capable of running powerful programs like blender(even gimp gets slower) and the other thing is that I don't even know how to install a software for linux from source code(sth like make, make install, ./config, make mrproper and bla bla). And I don't use Windows now.

There's one on the site I linked to above.

Blender's surprisingly resource-light for most operations. I've used it on an 800MHz P3 with 512MB RAM without too much trouble.

and the other thing is that I don't even know how to install a software for linux from source code

What distro do you use? Most of them provide a Blender package.

(sth like make, make install, ./config, make mrproper and bla bla).

The common method is ./configure && make && make install, but you should always read the bundled documentation and ./configure --help (not that anyone does

).
