[LinuxSSN-devel] Torpedo Blender Tutorial

[Rick M. <ri...@sw...>]

Found this googling the net:
http://www.digitalproducer.com/pages/torpedo_tutorial_for_blender.htm

The tutorial shows how to build a torpedo that emits particles, spins
using blender.  At the end of the tutorial, he makes a mpg showing the
torpedo moving through the water.  Good Stuff.

Hmm, I'd really like to be using Blender for my modelling because it's free and all that, but does anyone know how to use a 2d image for the viewport background?  When modelling submarines and stuff, I often use schematics I find on the internet to get the shape correct, and I never found a way to do that in Blender.  Also, I had trouble finding a good tutorial on texturing.  Anyway, if Blender exports and ascii format it'd probably be really easy to write a file reader for my engine.

Please excuse the HTML.

place the mouse cursor in the 3d editing window that you wish to add the
background picture to. Press SHIFT-F7.

A button group will appear.



 Click on "BackGround Pic". A couple more buttons will appear. Click on
the "LOAD" button.. it is limited i believe to jpg and tga files.



Then change this icon  back to  and your set.
