This Sunday, November 6th @ 15:00 a OpenToko.org workshop will take place about modeling your own 3D objects in Blender. An Ultimaker 3D printer is available for printing your freshly designed objects.

Blender is a free and open-source 3D computer graphics software product used for creating animated films, visual effects, interactive 3D applications or video games. Blender’s features include 3D modeling, UV unwrapping, texturing, rigging and skinning, fluid and smoke simulation, particle simulation, animating, rendering, video editing and compositing.

The focus for this introduction workshop will be only on modeling and exporting 3D objects for 3D printing. The workshop will be taught by Diana Wildschut, member of artist collective De Spullenmannen and active as freelance technician, lighting designer, photographer, video artist and programmer of realtime video software.
