Virtual sculpture projects

We picked-up on a lead from School Library Journal and tested a download of Blender, open source software (OSS) for 3-D design and animation.

It looks like a pretty steep learning curve, but I turned it over my freshmen SketchUp guru (below) and he had a volume up and was sculpting in 45 minutes!

Once we get the basic routine down, I think we will introduce it to our HS art teacher; looks like a dandy way to address new skills while incorporating traditional ones.
