So what does blogging have to do with Blender 3d?

Absolutely everything! Well okay, maybe not absolutely everything. But blogging is the perfect vehicle to share all kinds of information about blender. Now granted the whole on-line experience is geared towards sharing information, so why blog?

Because blogging has become the new voice of the internet. And it is easy to see why. Blogs are a quick, easy way to voice/share your opinion on any subject. Numerous sites offer free blogging as well as the ability to blog on your own website with plug-ins.

My favorite topic of course is Blender 3d, so I regularly follow quite a few Blender 3d blogs. Not only is it a fun way to see what my fellow blenderheads are up to, I get to stay current on all the latest news and tutorials that are being written and shared with the community.

Since blogging is as individual as the person writing it, blender 3d blogs come in many varieties and have different focus points. Which can make it difficult to label or push any given blog into just one category, but I have tried to group the following blogs into some general categories for organizational purposes. A great many of the blogs actually fall into more than one category.

Us the Robots 

...while not a blog exactly, it is a fun visit

US the Robots is a 3D webcomic "drawn" by art student Sam Brubaker. It is updated every Saturday.

Everything is done exclusively with free software. The characters are modeled and rendered in Blender, with layout and speech bubbles in Inkscape and image editing in GIMP- all under a flavor of Ubuntu Linux. Hell, I even wrote most of the html code (poorly) in Vim!
