Bart from BlenderNation here ;) I created BN Links because I found that although the Blender community offers an overwhelming wealth of resources, there is no central, easy to navigate system to access it.

It is not my goal to replace existing object libraries or tutorial collections – instead BN Links should be able to generate more traffic to high-quality Blender resources.

The way I see it now, we can:

1) Instead of linking to each individual objects, link to object categories. Not so cool for the users, but certainly more maintainable for you.

2) Discuss an interface that you and others can use to send information to the BN Links database in an automated fashion.

The second option probably sounds more like the synergy you’re talking about, am I right? It would take a considerable effort to realise though; I first want to be sure that BN Links is viable before I can commit the time to such an interface.

On an even longer-term vision, something I’ve always wanted to facilitate is an in-Blender browser for tutorials, models and materials. Using a central database and a standardised (XML?) interface could achieve that.

Cheers,

Bart
