About the Class

Blender is a free and open source software that you can download from blender.org. It can be used to create 3D-models, images, scenes, animations and even movie films. This class will walk you through some basic steps to get familiar with the basic concepts of blender.

Syllabus:

- what is blender?
- what can you do with blender?
- the blender user interface
- the upcoming version 2.5
- how to create and edit a simple object in blender

We will work with application sharing so you will be able to see me working live on my own blender software during the whole lecture.

Prerequisites:

Please go to blender.org and download the upcoming Version 2.5 (Alpha) for your operating system. You find the download link here:

http://www.blender.org/download/get-25-alpha/

Make sure you get the right version for your system (Windows have two versions for 32 bit and 64 bit). Windows users, please download the ZIP-Version and unzip the downloaded file. Run the blender.exe and see if it will show the blender start screen. If it don't work, you may have the wrong version.

Please enter the class in time since I can't repeat all the steps for late arrivals. Anyway, you are welcome to watch the recording if you missed the beginning of the class.

Language of instruction: English

Keywords: animation, web 2.0, free open source software, blender, video, rendering

Welcome to WizIQ. If you look in the public classes, you will find a bunch of free classes that explain how WizIQ works. For blender I recommend Neil Hirsig's 3D design course which is free:

Profile Summary

Basically I'm a web developer, that's what I do for living at the moment and people can hire me for their individual web project for 84 Euro per hour (around $120 USD).

But I also teach here for a more affordable rate, so don't hesitate to ask for a private session.

I also teach other technical related topics. Like Gimp, Blender and WordPress
