===Blender===
{{NewsGoose|I went down a rabbit hole last week when I couldn't sleep and I started playing with [https://www.blender.org Blender3D].  The first time out took me a long time to get a 3D render of the GR badge and the second time took me much less time (14 hours vs 1-2 hours).  I still have a long ways to go to get to the end with a need to learn texturing and coloring.  Not to mention I need to find a font (a friend of the show ("mt") has been assisting in that area).  <br><br>Series staff member David Rosler has been very supportive of this work, offering some tips here and there.  If I can get a decent model, I'm hoping to print one in 3D.  Below are my second attempt and the reference image, while [https://twitter.com/betamountain/status/955135668044357632 here] is the Twitter conversation around the first image.}}

===Updates===
{{NewsGV|Plodding along with the site conversion.  We're starting to categorize the fanfic character appearances (''Thank you Helper #1!'') and that's causing the Bio pages to start populating with the appropriate links to get you to the fanfic that stars the character you are looking at.  Also, character names (A-Z) are starting to populate as more characters are added and updated.  Finally, as a tease, I found that I had a scan of the following which I'll upload to the site (35 pages) in the future:}}
