Blender for After Effects

blender-logo_small after-effects-logo

Blender is a one of the most powerful, fast, effective 3D tools available. And it’s open source! This means that you could be adding real, professional 3D to your visuals today! The only thing that you need is to learn how to use it. I teach a 2-day class on how to use Blender in the field of Motion Graphics and Movie production. As far as I know, this is the only class of this kind. “Blender for After Effects” aims to get you up to speed in using Blender in your After Effects pipeline in the shortest time possible. I will not re-hash material that you can find easily in books and tutorials. This is a hands-on, total immersion class that targets the needs of the motion graphics artist. Why spend thousand of dollars for other 3D programs when Blender can do the job as well and often better? Save the cash, learn how to use Blender and expand your toolbox to include real 3D models and animations today!
