TC-BUG or the Tri Cities Blender Users Group was started February 8, 2009, to fill a need and desire for Blender users to get together to discuss their projects, exchange ideas, and promote the use of Blender. It is free to attend. We meet the second Sunday of each month from 2 pm to 4 pm . This organization is open to anyone interested in Blender no matter what skill level. If you are a hobbyist, you are welcome. If you know nothing at all about Blender, you are welcome. If you are a professional animator, you are welcome. Some of our members include programmers, teachers, artists, and game designers.
The Tri Cities Blender Users Group is an affiliate of the Kingsport Art Guild
Blender is a powerful 3D modeling, and animation suite. It is free and open source and can be obtained by going to the Blender Foundation's site at www.blender.org. (To see what it is capable of watch Big Buck Bunny the Blender Foundation's second open movie.)
The next meeting will be held on January 9, 2010, at the Kingsport Renaissance Center, Room number 313 (on the third floor.)
