Completely Free Blender 3D course

Hi all, I am going to list here all the videos of the free blender 3D course I have created. It was originally a commercial DVD but hey, enjoy!

For those who dont know, blender 3d can be used to create 3D Animations and images, more details and the place to obtain this free program here http://www.blender.org/

The first 7 parts introduce Blender 3D and get you up to speed with the interface.

The next group of parts take you through the modelling and rigging of a simple character. You will cover mirror modelling, creating bones, skinning, actions, non linear animation, shape keys; (Morph targets). And finally you will use these skills for to make a simple animation. Dont be put of by the simple nature of the character, all the skills you learn will scale up to future more complex projects. With Blender 3d the sky really is the limit.
