CartoonSmart 3D?! What's this...



When long-time student, John Nyquist asked if I had plans to teach Blender lessons, I said "huh? Blen-what?". So John explained to me what Blender was (er, an unbeliveably FREE 3D Program) and then showed me some of his samples, I said "John, how 'bout YOU teach this course!".

So CartoonSmart now has a new instructor AND hopefully many more lessons to come with John behind the helm. The first Blender lesson is an obvious one, "Basics of Blender". And slated in the near future will be a few more basic courses in the various aspects of 3D. This first course got as far as Modeling and Shading. (see the pic below)



If anyone wants to visit John's site, and contact him with some lesson suggestions or kudos for stepping up to the plate on this new subject, his web home is http://www.nyquist.net

Also if you haven't yet downloaded and installed Blender, it takes about about 2 minutes. Seriously. Visit http://www.blender.org/ for the details.

And lastly, consider buying his lesson here! CartoonSmart tutorials never really make big fat profits, but we will be donating some percent toward the Blender developers in the not-so-distant future.

Thanks.
