Blender has become an increasing popular 3D content creation suite over the last few years, winning a number of awards and being used on productions including Spider-Man 2 and the recent Sintel short film. The package offers a wide range of features for modeling, shading, animation, rendering and compositing that are comparable to commercial packages, and allows users to create fantastic 3D content whether for static artwork, visual effects, animated films or video games.

Highlander's 4 day course is targeted at those new to Blender and covers the core features of this great package including modeling, rendering, texturing and more. The instructor who has over 10 years experience of working with Blender, is a certified Blender 3D educator and a member of the Blender Certification Review Board so is well positioned to share real world tips and tricks on the package whilst ensuring best practice techniques are applied.

"Commercial 3D packages can involve spending thousands of pounds just on licence fees, leaving little or no budget left for training and development" comments Andy Gardiner, MD of Highlander, "by choosing Blender which is both open source and free, users can benefit from a commercial quality 3D suite but still have the budget there to invest in skills development and other areas. You only have to look at some of the work that has been created with Blender to see what it is capable of."
