[FM Discuss] New Manual (Art of Illusion)

[Tomi Toivio]

Hi,

This sounds great to me too.

I have been translating the Blender manual and noticed that it is very hard
to make 3D models. Basically we could have a workshop that trains users to
use Blender as such, but it would still take a long time to learn how to
actually make something that looks like a real object...

Or maybe I am just really bad in 3D modeling. ;)

Regards
Tomi
