I do a nuumber of jobs here at the medical school where I work.  One is poster printing on a 42" HP T1300 plotter.  This printer freakin rocks!  Our neuroscientists are going to DC for their annual Society for Neuroscience conference and I prepare their large format posters.  This week, I have prepped and printed more than 25 posters for SFN...and have three more pending for early next week.
A task this week for an in-house presentation was to print a poster for our Neuroscience Research center.  I found a tutorial for Blender, a modelling app and thought 'yeah, i can do that.'  So I downloaded it, and created my first 'Neuron'.  Now I could spend another 40+ hours stretching and extruding the facets on this thing to make it more resemble a neuron, but I just didnt have the time and I am still learning the program.  But this neuron poster was a big chunk of my week:

Blender is a remarkable program...if any of you have used it and have tips, techniques or comments, please let me know.
