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.
