Blender Tips
Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) is dedicated to supporting our maker community in their creative process by providing shared space, shared tools, software, materials and a knowledge base to turn their ideas into reality.
Blender is a free and open source 3D computer graphics software tool set for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux.
It is used to create 3D models, motion graphics, interactive 3D applications, augmented and virtual reality, and many other related things.
Pikes Peak Makerspace has installed Blender on our Design Workstation1 and 2.
