Iain Petrie | Blender 3D creation of Rotundans. Bleep & Booster (Blue Peter series BBC) Part 3 @IKP1000 | Uploaded February 2023 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
I'm planning a 3D animation interpretation of the 1960's series Bleep and Booster using Blender. The main problem is that I have very little experience of using Blender to create 3D character models in Blender and to animate them. This is Part 3 of what will hopefully be a set of videos showing progress to an actual animated 3D story. Part 1 can be seen here:

The Rotundans appears in 4 of the 5 Bleep and Booster annuals but none of the Blue Peter annuals. Part 4 will show a Rotundan walking (hopefully...) but in the meantime here are 4 of them standing on an alien world, which I downloaded for free from the superb online resource Blenderkit Asset Library.
It took about 9 hours to create the Rotundans, and at least the same again to learn how to rig these very basic characters, so it's certainly going to be a marathon not a sprint, but it's been a great way to get to grips with Blender, and hopefully the skills will be transferable to other projects...
