Blender is a steep learning curve and I only got partway along before running out of gas, and time. But it's one of maybe three top 3d-modelling tools in the industry. ________________________________ From: Discuss on behalf of Mick Chesterman Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2018 7:49 AM To: discuss at lists.flossmanuals.net Subject: [FM Discuss] new resources on blender Hi there, I?m signed up for the code club newsletter and they are now releasing docs with Raspberry Pi ?

No time for that atm. > I do have a PDF copy saved on my computer. At this point I really don't care to do anything further with it. I exported the text, then created a document in Scribus from scratch, setting up all the Paragraph Styles, then going through and applying them. It was time-consuming but I ended up with what I wanted. Right now I don't see the point of making any more books through flossmanuals. Greg
