RBS info is Moving: to my webpage

There is just too many limitations to a blog: Rolling Ball Sculptures

Blender 3D

Now I want to learn to use Blender 3D, an open source (free) program to make a RBS track with all of the possible effects, lifters, and other choices in an RBS. Then I will have videos and pictures of each item in the track. I will publish both the results and the source files - so others can use them.
