About

Go from “argh” to “aha!"

Blender is an extensive, open-source, 3D design software that has earned respect in the computer design industry for its scope, innovative artistic power, and community support. Unsurprisingly, it also has developed a reputation for having a steep learning curve.

By clearly presenting the user interface basics and valuable hot-key short-cuts, and resolutely focusing on just one aspect of Blenders’ enormous scope — 3D hard surface modeling — this class brings Blender under control and provides you with a solid platform for both immediate use with 3D print design in the Tech Lab, and for your own further exploration of the software and personal maker-goals.

Active in synthesizer development, he played a central role voicing the Yamaha DX7 synthesizer and is internationally recognized as one of the important contributors to the development and voicing of FM synthesis. He ran a MIDI synthesis studio in Paris, and moved to the USA in the ‘90s to work for Emu Systems, Inc. on sampling and filter-based synthesizers. He worked with Yamaha developing ringtones and system alert sounds and taught electronic music production and synthesis at Shoreline Community College.
