Greybeard's Blender Tutorials


Welcome to GreyBeard's Blender tutorials! The video tutorials you find on this site are my way of giving back to the Blender community and thanking them for the wonderful work they have done in developing the open source application Blender. I would also like to express my gratitude to the folks at ibiblio.org for making this possible by hosting this site.


What is Blender?

The Blender web site describes Blender as an integrated 3D graphics creation suite allowing modeling, animation, rendering, post-production, realtime interactive 3D and game creation and playback with cross-platform compatibility. Blender is licensed under the GPL and is available at www.blender3d.org for Windows, Linux, OSX, Solaris, Irix and FreeBSD.
