Ben Russell Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 Just found an old backup disc - turns out it has probably the first thing I ever built with blender on it.Date stamp: 5th Feb 1998. Blender v1.61 (payware!) Quote
Ben Russell Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Posted March 9, 2011 oh yes.I think I built that thing on a Pentium MMX @ 200mhz, probably 16 or 32mb of ram, Debian Linux/NT4 dual boot, Matrox Millenium video card (No hardware 3D acceleration what so ever in those days.)I've been tinkering with 3D since I was about 14 - got into programming cause the machines back then were genuinely sloooooooooow.Thought I'd post it for you all to have a good laugh..

Simmo W Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 Better than I could do now. Skinny pilots?Stick a planemaker model in and you'll sell it by the hundreds 'over there'. You can even copy this gem of a statement I just saw:"We have also had factory engineers provide feedback on the models functions and flight characteristics."Read: The feedback was that it was shite but we went ahead and released anyway! And the "factory engineers" worked for Corgi/Hotwheels Quote
