Excited to launch a tutorial series for #Blender + #BonsaiBIM — built around a real-world pocket neighborhood project.

120+ concise, beginner-friendly videos (~4.5 min each) take you from modeling a simple cube to producing a clean construction drawing set.

Includes open libraries for entourage, materials, drawing standards & prefab modeling — no need to reinvent the wheel.

20% of revenue supports Bonsai / IfcOpenShell dev.

🌟 OSArch: Git Platform 🌟

We’re launching two funding campaigns to create a shared platform for open collaboration in AEC—hosting BIM (IFC) libraries, supporting tool development, and empowering open-source workflows.

Help us migrate and sustain this platform under OSArch's governance:

Just a heads up. On the following 'bounty', we'll need to push the current funds ($1,852.46 USD) back to the general OSArch pool after November 13, 2024--As there hasn't been any takers on this issue for a year, at that point.
