Details
-------
Blender 3D is the de facto standard in free software 3D modelling.
Its power and utility is surpassed only by its notoriously steep
learning curve.  Lauded by artists worldwide, it is truly a jem in the
offerings of the free software movement.

This talk will discuss the features of Blender, its history and the
artistic endeavours associated with it.  Manchester Free Software hope
to encourage artists and other interested free software users to take
advantage of this excellent package by demystifying and sharing
knowledge about it.


Speaker
-------
Jacek has been using GNU+Linux since 2004.  He is a web developer and
in his spare time plays with computer graphics using free software.


Location
--------

The meeting will take place at the usual time, 7pm, at Madlab on Edge
Street in the Northern Quarter. "(Between Thomas St and the Craft
Centre, opposite A Bar Called Common)". The venue provides wifi. The
talk is followed by an informal discussion in the bar opposite (A Place
Called Common <http://www.aplacecalledcommon.co.uk/>).

---------
