      yes... 😄
      But friends of me just release a DVD FormaCD about last version of Blender in French(44$)for beginners and more...
      you can see a free(1 h 32) video in French about Blender by the same author for judge capacity of the teacher 😉

      En bas de la page " Les vidéos de la journée illusion 3D"
      (free 1 h 32)
      5 ème partie Vidéo par François Grassard 👍

        Aye Aye, if you join together to push me to blender, what can I do else to give it a try!!

        In fact I have Blender 2.5 Alpha0 installed for long but until now hadn't made the first step to use it. Now I've just downloaded 2.56 beta.
        @Rich
        the tutorial you are linking makes me want to follow it: but it's not as you say a "tutorial to start" but as they say: "Tutorial Details
        Program: Blender
        Difficulty: Advanced" 😕
        I have found a free pdf beginner book: Blender Basics Book- 3rd Edition

        @numbthumb
        thank you also for the links;
        I can't find me either "Foreground Reference Utility" it is very strange ??

        @Pilou,
        Merci Pilou pour ces liens utilissimes.
        Mais dans quoi je m'embarque là: tout ça est de ta faute 😆

        PS: Euh! I don't find the free(1 h 32) video in French about Blender 😒
        Ah! I have found it: link to it up right: http://www.formacd.com/v2/public/page.php?langue=fr#

          Look around that site for more simple tutorial. There's good one for human body that has detailed beginning about using tools. It's a video about 28min. It started my interest in blender.

          I read that book and it's good for reference. But visuals are needed for Blender to help explain workflow.

          The human body video has great info on head topology.

          Don't be afraid of monsters, they don't exist outside Hungary 😉

                Yes Simon that's the tutorial. I would save to HDD and watch, pause, repeat. He explains clearly how and why Blender uses right mouse button, that G is grab, R is rotate, splitting the workspace. But remember it can be addictive!

                        @Simon: I have found that utility on my HDD, here it is if you´re interested. I think it allows you to use reference images with Sculptris ( and Blender, hehe ).
                        I hope it is OK, after all it is freeware. Here you go:DAG_ForegroundUtility.rar

                        Comfortably numb...

                          Would you recommend using a graphics tablet with Sculptris, Pilou?

                            Of course yes, (like for Zbrush, 3D COAT, Sculptris...) a pen graphic is more easy than a mouse!
                            You keep the artistic hand's movements and moreyou have pressure levels!!!
                            That is unvaluable! 😎

                            Mouse is for helping 😉

                            A simple Wacom Bamboo is sufficient 😉
                            And you can use it for Moment of Inspiration 😉
                            Make nurbs with a pen graphic is a rare pleasure! 😎

                                  I have Blender 2.49b installed, I'd say I have it since that version was released but I have used it just a couple of times to make a couple of tutorials, but then I never found time to continue.
                                  Michalis gave me a useful link to texture models in Blender to import them to SU, but I'm a mess with the mapping and retopoing and all that...

                                  Each time I see something done in blender or some one saying he uses it, I promise myself I'll try again. So, this time I'm making a promise again (why would be different this time????) 😳

                                  I used sculptris and made some doodles, but I can't use it here at work (something to do with my graphic card and shaders... I can open the old version and can't use the decimator) and never find time when I'm home LOL

                                  Ahhhh now I come to think it. My avatar was made in sculptris 💚

                                    I have opened Blender yesterday.
                                    I have tried to do something with this box we open on.

                                      My relation with Blender is similar to yours, don't worry. It took me a day to subdivide the default square.
                                      OK, maybe less, but I it is not an intuitive software to learn (like SU) LOL

                                        Blender has always been a temptation, but if anyone can conquer it, it's you. If you decide to forge ahead with it, please give us a play by play on your progress. I will watch with anticipation.
                                        Cheers

                                            I agree with you, Blender after SU is like rocket science after sex.
