During the past months we Licuadores have been pretty busy and with little time to tell about our activities but here there is a short report of what we’ve been doing…
At the end of May we organized with Martín Eschoyez (Epa! Animation) and Universidad Nacional de Córdoba the first Che! Blender 2009 where we gathered all blenderheads of Argentina and even some neighbours. It was an emotion charged event where people from the extremes of the country met for the very first time. We had a great time giving presentations and workshops and learning a bit more about Blender.

In June, we’ve been present at 3D Wire: Mercado Internacional de Animación 3D y Videojuegos in Segovia, Spain. Together with the talented animator and one of the fathers of spanish 3D world Daniel Martínez Lara we gave a talk about Blender, our favourite tool 
.
In August we traveled to San Cristóbal, Venezuela to give a course on Rigging and Animation to the people of Historias Nativas, together with Pablo “venomgfx” Vazquez ( Plumíferos’ and YoFrankie’s veteran, and author of the celebrated Blender Training DVD “Venom’s Lab”) and Daniel “ZanQdo” Salazar from Costa Rica.
This project is being produced by venezolan house Macuaré Producciones, and is the first series of 3D shorts made entirely in Blender in Venezuela.
