Blender Share

Please save your "Blender" models to the share folder so we can share what you are doing on Friday during class. We will be starting a final Blender Animation project on Tuesday. Those who didn't share their Claymation, must figure out a way to compile, render and play your animation sequence with sound and titles on Monday.
