I picked up some Japanese books on using Blender and Metasequoia to help me get a better handle on those two programs. I also started working on improving my 2D drawing skills, because the 3D stuff was looking somewhat “bleh.” I tried Autodesk’s Sketchbook, and it’s okay. I fell in love with the open-source vector graphics program Inkscape.

Support Your Local Hackerspace (Blender and Metasequoia)
I traveled to my local hackerspace, Splat Space, to learn about Blender. Then I spent the next couple of days messing around with it and Metasequoia. It’s interesting stuff.
