Introduction to Blender 3D (Winter Term)

Blender is a free program that allows you to model and animate in 3D.

This is an introductory course that will get you familiar with the program and the 3D process. Practical uses are designing a kitchen, modelling an object for a 3D printer, or creating your own characters to animate a Pixar movie of your own.

As a bonus, you can also edit video and draw and paint with a graphics tablet.
