Tomorrow (June 13th) is a preparatory live chat with Andy where he asks for your input.
Have you always wondered how a big production like Big Buck Bunny is handled?
Our friend Andy over at Blenducation is doing an artist driven class Saturday June 20th. How is it artist driven? This Saturday (June 13th) Andy is hosting an Introduction Brainstorming Meeting where the topics for his Introduction class on the 20th will be decided.
