Blender Scripting Book Finished
My Book on Blender Scripting has entered the preproduction phase. The content is ready and it's available for preorder. Now all that's left for me and the hardworking people at Packt Publishing is to do some quality assurance before it is ready to print and ship.Blender Gears included in version 2.50 alpha 1
My Gears script is now part of Blenders 2.50 alpha 1 distribution (a.k.a. Blender 2.5.1) so there is no need to download it seperately. It is located in .blender/scripts/extensions and it will show up in the Add|Mesh menu.Ported Blender Gears to version 2.50 alpha 0
Ported my implementation of a Gears/Cogwheel script to Blenders 2.50 alpha 0 release. The 2.50 specifics are documented in the code but the tutorial is not yet updated.A Python ISBN module
Wrote a ISBN module. This is fully documented Python module to retrieve book information based on ISBN numbers. It is an extensible framework, but working implementations are provided for Amazon AWS and isbndb.com as well as for the Library of Congress, British Library (a.k.a. Copac) and the dutch Koninklijke Bibliotheek.My second published animation
My second real animation in Blender. The product of an internal project to implement quite complex pydrivers. If you would like to comment on it, you may do that also at this BlenderArtists thread.

Recently I wrote Varsub.py. Varsub.py is a simple python script to define and refer to variables in arbitrary files,otherwise known as string interpolation. This enables you e.g. to use named constants in CSS stylesheet files. It has a page of its own.Book Reviews
I recently added a page with book reviews. Mainly Blender and/or programming related but there's stuff about science and science-fiction as well. Check it out.My first real animation
Swineworld showreel from Michel Anders on Vimeo.
My first real animation in Blender. Intended as a sort of commercial/ trailer/ intro for a fictitious production company (www.swineworld.org, this website). It took way too long to make (mainly due to a serious back injury) but I am quite happy with it. Still there is much to improve upon, both in video and sound, and any comments are welcome, either on Vimeo or on the BlenderArtists.org thread.
