Blender: The Power of Open-Source 3D Creation

This workshop introduces Blender, a free and open-source 3D creation suite used by artists, designers, game developers, researchers, and studios worldwide.

Participants will learn how Blender supports the full creative pipeline—from 3D modeling, sculpting, and animation to rendering, simulation, and video editing. The session will highlight Blender’s open-source advantages, showcase examples of real-world use in science, design, and entertainment, and provide resources to help you start creating your own 3D projects.
