Upload Multiple Pictures to your Post in Blogger.
At present you can only upload image (pictures) and video files to your blog. Here is a step by step explanation on How to upload multiple images in a Blogger post :

1. Login at Blogger.com.

2. Blogger Dashboard opens if login is successful. Click on +New Post link on the Dashboard.

3. The Post Editor will open. Type in a Title in the Title field.

4. To upload pictures click the blue square "Add Image" icon in top frame of post editor. Images should be in jpg, gif, bmp and png format. Each image should not be bigger than 8 MB.

5. The popup window will open for Upload Pictures dialog. Choose whether you wish to upload pictures from your computer or from the web.

6. If the pictures are in your computer click the Browse button under "Add an image from your computer". An explorer window will open. Navigate to the picture file on your hard disk and select it. Click Open button to close the explorer window.

7. The path of the file will appear in the field next to the Browse button. To upload another image click the 'Add Another Image' link to add another Browse button. You can do this three more times. Hence you can upload FIVE images simultaneously in one attempt.

8. Click each Browse button and select four other picture files as in Step six above

.9. To upload images from the Web paste the link of the picture in the URL text box under "Add an image from the web". To upload multiple images click the 'Add Another Image' link in the same section to show four more URL text boxes. Paste the links of your other images there.

10. Lastly Choose where you would like to position the image in your post, the size of the Image and whether you want the same options to apply every time you upload pictures. Then click the Upload Image button. All the images will land up at the top of the post. To arrange them at various positions in the post see Tips on Pictures in Blogger.

11. To Upload more images repeat steps four to ten. You can only upload five images at one time.Happy Blogging!

Model-view-controller

Model-view-controller (MVC) is an architectural pattern, which at the same time is also a Multitier architecture, used in software engineering. In complex computer applications that present a large amount of data to the user, a developer often wishes to separate data (model) and user interface (view) concerns, so that changes to the user interface will not affect data handling, and that the data can be reorganized without changing the user interface. The model-view-controller solves this problem by decoupling data access and business logic from data presentation and user interaction, by introducing an intermediate component: the controller.

3D modeling In 3D computer graphics, 3D modeling is the process of developing a mathematical, wireframe representation of any three-dimensional object (either inanimate or living) via specialized software. The product is called a 3D model. It can be displayed as a two-dimensional image through a process called 3D rendering or used in a computer simulation of physical phenomena. The model can also be physically created using 3D Printing devices. Models may be created automatically or manually. The manual modeling process of preparing geometric data for 3D computer graphics is similar to plastic arts such as sculpting.

3D model market There is a large and thriving market for 3D models (as well as 3D-related content, such as textures, scripts, etc.), either as individual models or large collections. Online marketplaces for 3D content allow individual artists to sell content that they have created. Often, the artists' goal is to get additional value out of assets they have previously created for projects. By doing so, artists can earn more money out of their old content, and companies can save money by buying pre-made models instead of paying an employee to create one from scratch. These marketplaces typically split the sale between themselves and the artist that created the asset, often in a roughly 50-50 split. In most cases, the artist retains ownership of the 3d model; the customer only buys the right to use and present the model. Collections of hundreds to thousands of 3D models on CD, often royalty free, are for sale. These models include different types of people, animals, objects, plants, rocks, tools, furniture, buildings, landscapes, historical objects, cartoon characters, monsters, science fiction objects, medieval fantasy objects, etc. A person who buys such a CD can import these posable ready-made models into their computer animation program.
