IDAT211 - Blender - What is it?

Well for this module we have been given the chance to learn how to use blender and maybe incorporate it into our video.

So what is this program called "Blender", as soon as i loaded the program up i thought it looked very similar to 3ds MAX which we used in our first year. So i thought i would do a quick post on some information i collected after doing a couple searches of the internet about the program.

Blender official website - This is the link to the official blender website, as this program is open-source it means that it is free, and this site offers links to download. It also offers access to the community of Blender.

Blender Magazine - This is a link to to a something called Blender Magazine, as the title suggests, its a site dedicated to Blender. However this site isn't just a link to magazine, but it also features a blog, and after looking at the posts on the blog, this site could prove to be very helpful to me.

Blender Wiki - This link is just a link to the Wiki Blender page, just in case some of you want to know more than the website tells you.
