A blog resource for learning Blender 3D

a series of tutorials arranged in a sequence to help the new user become a Blender expert. The tutorials become increasingly more difficult; as a result intermediate users may quickly advance to whatever tutorial is most suitable for their knowledge and can continue along the sequence. Although there are many different learning paths a user could take, we've made a concerted effort to accommodate everyone.

BlenderArtists.org, then called elYsiun.com, was founded in 2000 by Timothy Kanters and Jude Aakjaer as a small forum where users of the free 3D creation suite Blender could talk about their favourite program and get support if they had a problem with it. Today, BlenderArtists has a growing userbase of over 20,000 registered users and continues to expand it's service to encourage a healthy and active Blender User Base.

Fresh blender news, every day.

brings you a complete up to date course to learn Blender 3d online. The course takes you from knowing nothing about Blender 3D all the way to producing a simple animated character. Each lesson is listed separately, so it is also useful if you know some functions but want to ‘brush up’ on others.

It's that time of the year again! Just before Siggraph we publish a compilation of the greatest Blender work to show the rest of the world what we've been up to and what Blender is capable of.

This year, Ton asked Bart to use only animations for the compilation. It made Bart's life a bit easier (less edits to make), but it is also a bit disappointing that so many great stills did not get included. More on this on www.blendernation.com
