			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The past day or two, I&#8217;ve been learning how to build stuff with blender. Thought I would start out from scratch with something simple so I modelled the first thing (and simplest shape) thing I could find on my desk.</p>

<p>It was a lot easier than I first thought. I created a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A9zier_curve" target="_blank">bezier curve</a> for the clip, then mapped a circle shape to the curve. Added a shiny material to the object and then rendered.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m finding that building organic models are a lot harder to do than simple objects. Guess that just comes with practice.</p>
