[Bf-education] SIGGRAPH 2013 BOF

[Nicholas Jainschigg]

Hi--
I've been using Blender for the past six years in a course called "3D For
Illustration" in the Illustration department at Rhode Island School of
Design. I also teach a more industry-oriented class in game asset creation
using Maya, but many of my students who have taken both classes comment on
how much easier and faster Blender is to use. I'd love to hearc how the
meeting goes, but I'mafraid I won't be able to attend Siggraph this year.
Best,
Nick Jainschigg
Associate Professor, Illustration
