We’ve all been there, some more than others, but at one point or another we’ve all had to convert a file. But whether we knew how to or not, was the question. Sometimes with this sort of thing it’s simply the lack of knowledge of what to use. The other common issue is how to use it. Well now that you’re reading this article, those should no longer be problems that you’re familiar with.

I’m very pleased to see Blender 2.6 Essential Training available at Lynda.com as of yesterday.  I consistently recommend Lynda as an excellent resource for learning a wide variety of applications, operating systems, techniques, and methodologies.  My Digital Media students use Blender to create and publish a short animated movie.

My Digital Media students did great with our limited time using Blender and would enjoy this.
