Thank you for visiting "Learn Digital Design." Did you know that YOU can create professional digital graphics
on your own with little or no budget at all? All of the videos that we will share on this website are totally free.
Also, every program that we will use to create the graphics is open source. If your not familiar with the term open source,
it basically entails that the program is free for you to download.
In fact, every graphic on this page was created with open source. Even the page itself was created with open source.
So our goal here at "Learn Digital Design" will be to teach you to employ these same techniques. After viewing enough
of our free video tutorials, you will be able to easily create websites, fine art, 3D Graphics, or anything your heart desires with a high cost appearance for little to nothing
at all.
Alright - so lets get our hands dirty. Start watching some videos!
Note: We are a very new website and began on Feburary 12, 2009 so there will be updates to this site every single day.
Our current goal is to produce 7 new videos a week until the basics are covered for every open source graphics program we can find.
The point is that you should check back daily to see our new videos. Some days we may make no videos, and some days we may make
two or three, so it should average out to 7 or more a week. Thanks again for watching.

 Benjamin has added a new blog entry called: Check out Blender 2.5.
No, Blender 2.5 has not been officially released yet. But you can download the latest build, which I must say works pretty well. On my last post about Blender 2.5 everything looked nice, but I could not find many things that I was looking for. In this new version of 2.5 it seems that they have at least added all of the functionality of 2.49 [...] |

Benjamin has added a new blog entry. Click here to view the entry.
I have recently found out that Blender is not only an awesome 3D modeling / animation suite, but it is also a powerful video compositing tool. From what I can see so far, it is much more powerful than windows movie maker and of course it comes with Blender as is, and as always FREE. |
