Another way I spend my time

[avevale_intelligencer]

This is my attempt at the tutorial Age developed by the Guild of Writers for the standalone Uru game. It's very. Very. Basic. And it's taken me gods know how long just to get this far. Notice the odd sharp edge to what should be a patch of grass (there is grass there, just very very sparse).

But...it's progress. It's baby stuff compared to what I can do in Vue, but in Vue, no matter how exquisite the pictures might be, I can never walk into them, even virtually. With Blender I can. And so I persevere.

STill way further than I've gone with it. How did you get that sky background?

It's in the tutorial under "Adding some atmosphere." Basically you make a dome and map the sky texture provided on to it, having first made sure to flip the normals.

That was my Age Four. (One to Three were failures.) I'm now working on Age Five(!), tentatively venturing some of my own stuff, and finding there's a trick to Writing sky that I don't know. Pictures will doubtless follow.
