Blender Workshop in Vancouver, BC, August 24
The University of British Columbia Fisheries Centre is hosting a free, full-day Blender workshop on Sunday, the 24th of August in Vancouver, BC. The workshop will be lead by Mike Pan and Dalai Felinto, both of whom are working with the Fisheries Centre on the underwater visualization. (We reported earlier on their Fish Population Data Visualisation project with the Blender game engine).

At this point, we are thinking of targeting it towards intermediate users, but things can change.

Sounds like it could be good. I think it is best that it is an intermediate class, it would kinda be a waste if it was for beginners, as they might quit blender and it is only a 1 day course. Can’t learn much in 1 day if you don’t know what your doing. It would be kinda cool to hear what they talk about.
Oh… and oh sweet! it’s that guy who writes all those books.
I love the idea of a free Blender workshop….”the first hit is free….”
Anyone interested in starting something like this in Australia?
I’m up for helping to organise something like this in Sydney or Brisbane.
So nice to hear about this…. its sort of in my neck of the woods, as Canada is a very BIG place, geographically-speaking… and only one time-zone away!
hey is mike pan a professor or something? or is he just a student at theuniversity
i wish they woudl do one in guelph, ontario..
have fun guys
and you’re saying it only now? I have already my weekend booked, and that’s the first time it’s happening in my city!
Dang — wish I’d known earlier (work might have sent me).

I’d love to have gone if there had been just a few more days’ notice I live on Vancouver Island and am only a ferry ride (or quick plane flight) away, but I’ve got my weekend already planned.
Darn. I used to live in Vancouver but now am in Alabama. Any Birmingham users want to get together sometime?
It’s always a bit of a dilemma when to post these events – if we do it too long in advance, people will forget about them. I figured four days was fair enough..
for those blend artist can not make it to free shop blender just simply start your own free shop in your local library,so feel inspire from these high profile blender shop events.
cheer.
Its close. Only a time zone (1162 km) away! For Canada, thats pretty close. Still, I won’t be able to make it. Sounds interesting though.
