[Bf-committers] A Blender Education distribution

[Kent Mein]

In reply to Jeremy Wall (zaphar at gmail.com):

I have a cd I created for a talk I and another guy did at:
http://www.cs.umn.edu/~mein/blender/cd

It has samples of what can be done with blender.
A semi recent version of the manual from cvs
latest version of blender for a couple of different platforms
and some other stuff.  Feel free to use it as a starting place
if you want.
