4.  Introduction

The laboratory of Biosignal Processing and Medical Computing Lab is happy to announced the first workshop on Blender. Blender is a versatile 3D modelling and animation tool. This is a short course on how to use Blender for modeling, texturing, animation, simulation, and video games.

5.  Aim

The course provides introductory lectures about the Blender environment, and will cover topics regarding modelling, animation, scripting and simulation. The course is oriented to young researchers e.g. PhD students and postdocs, as well as early career researchers, but everyone interested is welcome to participate.

6.  Registration

Registration will be restricted to only 15 people. 10 of them will be lended computers from the Biosignals Processing and Medical Computing Lab, while the rest will be required to bring their own laptops. A small registration fee of $50 MXN will be charged to cover expenses. These are payable upon arrival to the course. Please note that you will not be allowed entrance until the registration fee is covered.

Registration includes access to the course lectures and workshop, and a attendance certificate. No additional course material will be provided. Lunch is not included.
