Castilla-la Mancha univ. is getting to become the leading one on free licensed soft in our lovely, sunny country, Thanks for your work and continue being a good model.
I used Google`s Translate to read the site, Nice! In one of the content I personally like to see 2. Modeling (5 pm) 2.3. NURBS, and Practical content (3:30 pm) Practical 8 Radiosidad. Global architectural lighting: Radiosity.
I really wanted to see more from the site but any way good to know that there is On-line course.

Gimme something like that in English or German!
Pues yo no es que viva en España. Es que vivo en Ciudad Real y aprendiendo por mi cuenta me voy apañando.
Claro que se da el caso de que para mi es una afición, y no uso software comercial. Y si no me gasto dinero en el software, no voy a pagar para apuntarme a un cursillo de Blender cuando ya voy poco a poco desenvolviéndome con el programa... Por lo demás todos mis ánimos al profesor y buena iniciativa.

Is not that I live in Spain. I live in Ciudad Real and I manage learning by myself.
Of course, the fact is that for me is a hobby, and I don't use commercial software. And if I don't spend my money in software, I am not going to pay for subscribing to a course of Blender when I am learning by myself bit a bit with the software... Anyway I encourage the proffessor and it's a good initiative.
Ohhhh, I really wished I could understand it better. ^_^ Would love to be there too.
great for the latinos, and hey it starts at my bd ;)
Hi everybody;
Thanks a lot for your comments, I hope you like the course... I'm trying to do my best. I'm just finishing the material with the help of two colleagues at my University (two real gurus; Miguel Garcia - Greenbite - and Sergio Perez - Brue -).
See you on the cyberspace! - Carlos.
