Blender stuff

• Blender home
• You can download Blender from   here .   The installation is straightforward.
  Make sure that your display is at 32bit (TrueColor) setting. If the program runs *really* slow, try using a different display resolution.
  BTW, if you notice that Python scripts don't work right on the latest Blender (2.32), it's probably because it uses Python 2.2, not Python 2.3. Install also Python 2.2, and set the Blender's preferred Python path to point to your Python22\Lib directory (you can access file paths by dragging down the top information pane).
