What’s It like learning 3D Modelling and Animations in Blender? (Spoiler alert: It’s NOT Hard) - Vivasvat Rastogi | vTech Guild

“ Don’t start your Blender life by watching a modelling tutorial… give a chance to the animation ones. Trust me, you’re gonna be better off. Continue reading to find out why, and to learn some basics of Blender. “ So… my story with Blender is, perhaps, a bit different from that of most other animators. I thought about learning Blender (just for fun) many times, intermittently, s tarting from around 3-4 years ago. I downloaded the 500MB file, opened it, tried out some stuff (unsuccessfully), and at the end, having deduced the fact “Nah… too complicated,” I deleted it each time. Later, after seeing a couple of cool YouTube videos having 3D stuff (not Blender tutorials ;-) ), and after making some futile attempts at finding an easier 3D animation software that had all functionalities, one fine day, I finally made up my mind: “Ya, I gotta learn this thing… no way around it…” So, I downloaded it again, this time cherishing my resolution, and googled ‘Blender Tutorials’… and no, I did not

Extraterrestrials - Are We the Only Cosmic Beings?


Why is the Bible filled with descriptions of gods who came down from sky in fiery chariots? Why is there an astronaut preserved inside a lost temple? Why are there cave paintings of the gods with headgears? The sole answer to these questions is—Aliens do exist.


Stargazers have spent much of the past century trying to fathom this conundrum.


A simple proof of this, though, is provided by the renowned author and xenoarchaeologist, Erich Von Daniken, in his eminent book ‘Chariots of the Gods’. In this, he imagines a futuristic society, in which the world is highly technologically advanced, and does an interstellar travel to a planet, whose stage of life is the stone age. They can fly, have space suites, have artificial lights, and can light fire; so, as per them, they can do everything, hence, for them, they will be their gods. This gives rise to the theory that Gods might be aliens.


Ancient astronaut theory, proposed by Harold T. Wilkins, also states that, extraterrestrial beings have visited Earth and influenced the development of human cultures, technologies and religions.


One of the misconceptions amongst people is that, for life to exist on other planet, it ought to have oxygen and water, but they seldom realise the fact that there may be other extraterrestrials whose conditions necessary for survival are completely different- they may live in 200 celsius, and have helium as their respiratory gas.


A few more evidences evince the existence of aliens. Huge lines in Inca, South America, which extend upto thousand kms & are perfectly straight, could not have been made by man & that to when the motto behind it is totally cryptic. Perhaps these were constructed by extraterrestrials as reference landing ports from space. Similarly, ancient art depicts extraterrestrial or supernatural influence. Several confirmatory facts have been found in Tiahuanaco & Bay of Nazca. 

Certain monumental constructions required more sophisticated technological ability than that available to the ancient cultures -These include Stonehenge, Pumapunku, the Moai of Easter Island, the Great Pyramid of Giza, and the ancient Baghdad electric batteries.


In India, in Mahabharata, how could their
be 100 kauravas, probably they were cloned. 7000 Years ago, when there were primitives, how could the technology of this arise, which has not been successfully done yet? Perhaps, some intelligent beings came from other lands. The same conspiracy is followed in Ramayana, where Ravana used the Pushpak Vimaan, an aerial vehicle; and the Brahmastra, a voice enabled, guided nuclear missile.


At last, why did Egyptian Pharaohs even have mummies, because aliens came and gave them the knowledge of preserving humans. 


Perhaps the greatest 'holy grail' in all of astronomy is the search for life, and particularly intelligent life, beyond Earth.
