Blender Tutorials

Here are a 5 tutorials that I recommend. I tried adding them to the blog but the original email inviting me to edit is broken.

Also a note that many tutorials are now working with "Cycles" which is a different render engine inside blender. For the context of this class, students should realize the difference so they don't end up watching tutorials that feature this. The render engine we will be using is called "Blender Render" and is the program's default. 

For any keeners, here are the sites that I go to for more in-depth learning:
