Howdy, folks!

Right now, you’re probably wondering, “Who on earth is Suzanne, what does Suzanne have to do with September, and, for crying out loud, why is there an orange monkey head?” So now I will answer these questions of yours.

Who on earth is Suzanne?

Suzanne is a 3-dimensional monkey head model made by Willem-Paul van Overbruggen, who also named it “Suzanne”. Suzanne comes with all current Blender versions and is commonly used for testing settings.

What does Suzanne have to do with September?

I have decided (and John might help with this) to make at least 10 images of Suzanne with various material settings in the month of September, so you’ll be seeing a lot of Suzanne this month! 🙂
In addition, I am considering releasing the source files with a CC-0 license if possible, otherwise I’ll probably use CC-BY.

And finally:

Why is there an orange monkey head?

Shouldn’t you know the answer to this by now? Oh, well, I guess I’ll answer it for the sake of completeness. I wanted to do something fun this month and, who knows, maybe the source files will help out a beginner!

Anyhow, here’s today’s Suzanne:

Have any requests for the next Suzanne? If so, ask in the comments and I’ll see what I can do!
(Don’t be afraid to ask for wild stuff – the worst that could happen would be that I won’t be able to make it, right?) 🙂
