This lab will not be a regular programming lab. Instead, you will be working inside of the Blender 3D modeling and animation package, which you should have downloaded from http://www.blender.org. Also make sure you have the Chicken EGG exporter downloaded and set up in your Blender script directory.

Unzip this Blender model into your model directory:

Create the following python program in your working directory:

import direct.directbase.DirectStart
from pandac.PandaModules import *
from direct.actor import Actor # To use animated Actors
 
bender = Actor.Actor("Models/g_char")
bender.reparentTo(render)
 
base.disableMouse()
base.camera.setPos(0, -15, 0)
run()
