Blender training

From CRAVEwiki

CRAVE team is currently planning to initiate a full fledged training center for 3D Designing and Animation. It will do so by training students its favorite software Blender.

Blender is the free open source 3D content creation suite, available for all major operating systems under the GNU General Public License.

The training program period will be for 2 months considering 2 days in a week(3hrs each day). The course will also train individual to use Video Sequence Editor to give a finishing touch to student's projects.

An banner is being prepared by Royston Alex to publicize the program to encourage students and other interested individuals to join the program.

Requirements

One of the most essential requirements is an complete reference manual for the trainers. Currently CRAVE team uses online tutorials and other manuals on blender written by skilled individuals all over the world. Unfortunately these available tutorials do not represent a standard nor cover absolute depth of a particular topic or feature in Blender. For this reason team requests two books from the official Blender's Site namely:

Blender 2.3 Guide               - $16.32 - Rs.685.44 approx
Introducing Character Animation - $47.33 - Rs.1987.86 approx
