Blender FAQ

I've been getting a lot of questions regarding modeling and posing in blender. I don't want to keep answering the same questions over and over again. And though I post this in the credits every time I know someone is still going to ask these, for all those who read this post and don't ask any of the following questions, You're the real MVP.

QUESTIONS:

How did you get your characters to pose like that?
Yes, I get this question very often and though I state it in the credits I use Blender

Which version of Blender do you use?
Blender 2.49. Yes it is the very old version but it is the only version that has all the right import and exports for meshes. 

How do you get the models into Blender?
1. You need an import and export script for OGRE
2. You need to download the Ogre Command-Line Tools
3. Use the OgerXMLConverter to Convert all your .mesh files to .xml
4. Then when you open blender, there should be an option to import OGRE (.mesh.xml)
5. Import all the model meshes you converted.

Is Blender free?
Yes, blender is free to download and all the other downloads I stated before

How do poses work in game?
They are exported as any regular object you have in a map. No, they don't work like the butt swing or the head bang.

How long dose it take you to do a pose from start to finish?
I'm getting faster at it, so it takes me about two to three hours depending on the pose and getting it into the map. I'm pretty picky when it comes to poses.

How much does it cost for you to do a pose for me?
I have it in my commissions list but it is $5/500 and $3/300 per extra character. This will be an altered screenshot by default. If you want the pose to be an object, you need to ask me specifically.

How much does the tutorial cost?
The the Full tutorial will cost $2/200pts that covers all my tricks and tips for posing models in blender and getting them into Feralheart

These are all the questions I am willing to answer. If you have a different one it might be already in the Blender Tutorial.
