Gargoyle

GargoyleThis gargoyle was modeled from a reference image in Blender 3d 2.48, an open source 3d content creation tool.  The base mesh is approximately 2200 polygons.

Textures are from photos I took in Normany, France, many textures of which are available in the textures section on this website.

Why Blender files?

Well.  Simply put, I find it one of the easiest ways to distribute 3d content.

  • Blender is a free open source application available for all platforms and is a small download.
  • Blender exports meshes, textures and even armatures to common industry standard formats such as obj and collada, making it easy to import content into applications such as Maya, 3ds Max, or XSI.  This can be done by simply selecting a mesh (right click) and going to the file>export menu.
  • Blender packs all textures and other resources into a single file, making it easy to download an entire scene without having to worry about reconnecting textures.  Textures can be easily exported by going to file> External Data> Unpack into files. Applicable textures can also be automatically exported on obj export if the option is chosen.
