William Bourke: Animator, art director and concept artist in Nowra, Australia.

Sometimes its hard to get a handle on some of the expensive 3D packages like Max, Mayer or Houdini. There is a lot of other cheaper options around but none as cheap as Blender 3D....."Its free!!" I have been an animator for 23 years now, working on productions for Nickelodeon, Disney and the BBC to name a handful. I have used Maya and Max and several others. The problem has always been to keep up with the latest trends. I have, over the years, forked out thousands of dollars in upgrades and new hardware. So I decided to move to open source software for operating systems. I now am using Ubuntu, Gimp, Inkscape, Kdenlive and Blender3D as my main development tools. As I moved from Max and Mayer to Blender I found there was no one place to learn the program easily. I did find there was lots of great one off tutorials, but I had to search for days to find the ones that would build my skills cohesively. Frustrated, I decided I would start a blog to help with my personal progress but also give others a chance to learn from my discoveries. The site is here http://tfaschool.blogspot.co.nz/ I hope you get as much out of it as I have.
