[Bf-education] Bf-education Digest, Vol 78, Issue 5

Hi All,

   I created two objects.  One on its' own layer.  I have now combined both onto one layer.  I would like to stitch the vertices from one object to another.  Blender 2.62 won't let me.  Why?  Can anyone advise me on this?  Thanks in advance.   Peter

All the best programmers I have ever met started programming at like
at 12 to 14 and all of them started with game programming! Who wants
to learn Data Base Design at age 12 or even 23 for that matter. :-)

I mean their in shopping malls!! the argument is Games courses attract students whom are interested in the field and therefore engaged and the skills are transferable hope those arguments help and the industry is huge if you look not just to the big companies but the vast indie businesses plus I know many games artist that work in film and advertising as well as I said transferable skills.
