Beginning Blender: Let's Make Pumpkins

Let's Make Pumpkins, Blender Style!!

This is a 2 Part Class on October 11th and 18th Saturday Evenings from 7-9PM

Blender is an amazing 3-D modeling, and animation suite. It has many buttons, screens, and settings that can seem daunting for the first time user. In this class you will learn the basics of the navigation, how the interface works and how to model objects, and render them. You will learn the basic of creating and assigning materials to what you make. I hope you will feel free to experiment and play with Blender. When you play you will learn faster.

This Class is open to the public for $25 or Free to Members of the Inventor Center.

Bring a Laptop and a 3 Button Mouse.

Blender is a free and open-source 3D computer graphics software tool set that runs on Windows, MacOS, BSD, Haiku, and Linux. It can be downloaded at www.blender.org for free! Blender is used in Hollywood for special effects, animation, architectural pre visualization, motion graphics and for creating 3-D files for printing.
