Since some time I set up new Java projects with Maven. Additionally I migrated some old ones to Maven. The main issue was dependency handling and building. No more manual writting/copying of Ant build.xml’s. This works well as long you need libraries/artefacts that can be found in maven repository and/or the ones not available are your own. In the latter case they reside in your local repository and are accessible by other projects. Up until now this worked well since such dependencies only existed inside one project and could be resolved. However in the OpenSource world there comes a time where this is no longer possible. This happened, when I wanted to use ch.sahits.sahitsUtils in my game project OpenPatrician. The logical conclusion was to publish the artefact to a maven repository.

Colin Litster has a great example of how to create a copper plated roof in his book Blender 2.5 Materials and Textures Cookbook. The the image files of the are available from the publishers website, naturally they are copyright protected, which reduces their usefulness greatly. Furthermore the book gives good details on how to apply the images as textures in Blender, but the information on how to obtain/create the base image is sparse to non existent. Searching the web did not result in any image that would be usable. Therefore I set out to create the images from scratch.

About eight month ago I started using blender. I learned by watching different tutorials and mainly trail and error. Now however I thought a book covering the basics would come in handy. Therefore I selected Roland Hess Blender Foundations – The Essential Guide to Learning Blender 2.6.
