New Software - BLENDER

This weekend I've been working with a new animation program called Blender. 

On their website, they state that this program is completely free to use and it has a lot of features for a free program, for example, Rendering, Modeling, Sculpting, Animation & Rigging, Grease pencil, VFX, Simulation, Video editing, and Scripting.

I went ahead to test and see for my own experience this new program. I was focus to see the animation elements of it and see how far I could go with it. 

My first impression of the program was very good, the program is very self-explanatory and you don't really need a tutorial if you know the basics of editing or animating. Very easy to navigate and to install. It looks very professional for free software and indeed it has all the features promised.

I wanted to look for any artist that worked with this software and use it for 2D animation, and with some looking, I found one that had videos explaining how to draw and animate in Blender.

This artist is known as Dedouze, being very well known oh his works in Blender

I looked deeper into this artist and I saw on his Youtube channel a video of him explaining how the program works and how to do something similar to his work. The video explains everything you need to know as a beginner in the software.

With this I got some experiments on this program, unfortunately, I didn't go too far yet and the reason being that I wanted to try more programs of animation. 

To conclude this, I can say that the software I very well optimized and does the drawings and rendering very well.
