  1. Blender 501 Said,

    Why dont u make a animation tutorial or a gaming one?

  2. Blenderator321 Said,

    I though these classes were free

  3. dipingo Said,

    Blenderator321, What classes?
    Here at Blenducation all the FREE classes are 9/9:30 pm EST. You come to the site and see the On-air link on the main page it means class is live join in. There are however many users that want advanced classes presented by advanced instructors and those classes are pay-per-seat.

    If you are new and have signed up, you will be notified via email of each new class. Both paid and FREE.

    Post this under Useful links though is not the best place.
