blender 2.6,basic internal render and no nodes ,I try to learn how to do better textures.two biggest unsolved issues in blender for me at the moment are 1st how to properly set up any image as paintbrush in texture paint and 2nd I tried to create just basic grass with hairparticles and I don't know why size of these particles is influenced by render resolution setting.
after 12 I could add short animation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41ARl2cMUas&feature=youtu.be
