Technical requirements

To follow along with this appendix, you will need to have Blender downloaded and installed on your computer. You can find Blender using this link: https://www.blender.org/download/. I’m using Blender 3.5.1, but this workflow will work with any future versions of Blender.

Note

If you would like to understand more about Blender, there is a very well-written Blender 3.5 manual at https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/interface/index.html.
