Introduction to Blender: Creating Forests, with Silicon

Part of the 2025 CETI SPA

CETI Lab at PSU. FMH 218.

TJ Orloski

Learn how you can use Blender, a free, open-source 3D graphics creation pipeline to create imaginative spatial objects and experiences.

We will be creating a computationally-economic forest scene that could be used for animation or video game projects in Blender, and will be covering the basic concepts of Blender 3D such as : sculpting, materials, weight painting, non-destructive workflows, lighting, rendering, and how to install add-on.

Materials: A laptop with Blender installed. Bring ideas, questions, and your own experiments if you have any.

Prerequisites: All are welcome.
