Code, Arts & Crafts: Blender

Introduction workshop to 3D modelling

Blender is a powerful, free and open source 3D modelling software, used for animation, video games, data visualisation or designing objects for digital fabrication. Join us during these two afternoons, and let's discover the basics and possibilities of Blender!

The workshop will take place in two different sessions:
- on Saturday 16 April: introduction to Blender
- on Saturday 30 April: exploring a more computational approach, through code

Registration is mandatory through this form. Price: 15€ per session / 30€ for both!

The workshop is given in French (but the workshop leader does speak English)
