Blender is an open-source 3D application. It is a great place to start for students who want to get into 3D modeling, game design, and CG graphics because the application is absolutely free. It's also a great tool for Pro Modelers because of its built-in game engine and its UVW unwrapping capabilities. The learning curve for this software can be a little steep without a bit of a boost from somebody who knows the program. In this course, Jason Welsh will give you just the head start you need with his reference-based learning examples.
