Want to create your own worlds? Better yet, blow ’em up – and let the computer calculate the physics for explosions, smoke, and fire. This Creators fan favorite, hands-on workshop will introduce beginners to Blender, a powerful, open-source 3D software that is available as a FREE download. A series of exercises will send you flying through 3D space. Learn the basics of sculpting your own sets and characters and how to animate and render your own 3D CGI videos. Anything is possible with animation!
