<p>One of my main goals this winter is to make real progress on getting a solid grasp of the skills and tools to be able to reproduce parts that can't be obtained in other ways. </p>
<p>I have a ton of stuff I want to make. </p>
<p>Blender has long been my preferred tool for just about everything graphical. I think it has the power to do like 90% of all the things we need and want to do as makers. From content creation to creating physical things. We can design and create so much with Blender. </p>
<h2>Where To Learn Blender</h2>
<h3><a href="https://www.blender.org/">CG Cookie</a></h3>
<p>Has a brand new updated intro course. </p>

<p>This guy is on <a href="https://odysee.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Odysee</a>. Can we get him to get on #3Speak and #Hive also?  </p>
<p>The content here is on Precision Modeling with Blender. It is not CAD style, it is Blender style and it is very interesting. I keep </p>

<p>This could be a tool for creating a full index of information in like an interactive and explodable view sort of thing. Could make locating and creating parts on demand a possibility. In other words, we could create an app where you can get full documentation with files and access to services all in an animated and interactive app.</p>
<p>Could be used to design properties and buildings and everything by placing tools in an accurate way with information and market integration with #hive? </p>
<p>We could create communities around designing and creating parts and services for anything. </p>
<p>I could use my interest in Open Source Ecology and ATVs as perfect examples. This would solve robustness and we have the tools now. </p>
