Description tutorial here (updated April 2007)

My 3rd tutorial for Blender. It tells how to make "smooth" shapes, with the example of making an octopus. It took me time to find a good example, and at least I had the idea for an octopus. I found this was funny so I kept this idea. The octopus also have the advantage to be perfect to show extrusion. So this tutorial will introduce you to "Subsurfs", extrusions, and a few more things.
[tutorial in english and in french]
-------
Mon 3ème tutorial pour Blender. Il explique comment faire des formes lisses, en se basant sur l'exemple d'une petite pieuvre. J'ai mis du temps à trouver un bon exemple, et finalement j'ai pensé à une pieuvre. J'ai trouvé cette idée marrante donc je l'ai gardée. La pieuvre a aussi l'avantage d'être parfaite pour montrer la fonction d'extrusion.
Ce tutorial va donc présenter les "subsurfs", les extrusions, et quelques autres fonctions bien pratiques.

that's not really a problem as it's still available if you follow the "my website" link.

I really don't feel like uploading again everything DA lost from their server.

Can't use material ? Did you make sure the object you wanted was selected (displayed in pink in wired mode) and then press the F5 key : it should make the material menu appear. You should see 3 bars marked R, G and B to change the color. Then just press the "z" key to see the color on your object. If you change the color, press z twice to refresh the way it's dislayed.
Well, I hope it helps

Thank you
It's hard sometimes to write tuts, because I can't help to think *Another "select the points", another "move the points", another "go to the top view" etc... People will get bored of this tut !!!! *

Merci J'ai eu du mal à trouver l'idée mais j'en suis assez fière. ( j'ai mis du temps à passer plein d'animaux en revue, de la vache à la giraffe, mais y'a que celui là qui me semblait suffisament simple)
