Re: [BLUG] Anyone here use Blender?

Cool. Would you be interested in just getting together sometime to
talk about Blender? Anyone else interested in this?

If you don't know, Blender is a high quality open source 3D modeling,
rendering and animation tool. It can also be used for things like video
and audio editing.

Re: [BLUG] Anyone here use Blender?

I would like to learn blender (and 3d work for that
matter) and know several people who would like to
switch.

Re: [BLUG] Announcement

Scott,
Thanks for your work as prez. I haven't attended as many meetings as
I'd like, but have gotten a lot out of the ones I did attend. I hope
all works out well in Texas.

Does anyone on the list use or know someone in Bloomington that uses
