Blender Boot Camp

Greetings, my fellow new media devotees. At the end of January, I’m going to be heading down to beautiful, hurricane-prone Florida to teach a seminar for LearnItPro on the basics of Blender and 3D graphics. The course is strictly oriented for beginners, and geared towards familiarity with Blender’s interface, workflow, and its core modeling and sculpting tools.

So, join me for four days of art, fun, and exceedingly bad jokes at the Marriott Hutchinson Island Resort off the Treasure coast in Florida. Check out the press release at BlenderNation and head on over here to register. Hope to see you there!
