## the goals

- for everyone to improve their Blender skills
- to develop this hackmd into a resource doc for Blender-learners
- and to get better at that workflow
- to prototype a Blender workshop that involves all students creating the same object, features of which could include
- a final celebratory moment that brings all the objects together
- in a Blender scene
- in an AR experience for phones
- in a VR experience for oculus
- on a website in a simple image gallery
- on a website with exports from orbiting cams
- on a website with sketchfab embed
- on a website with three.js
- perfect pumpkin-to-button workflow
- perfect pumpkin-to-insta/snap/tiktok filter workflow
- moonshot here being a rigged 3d model, not just a static one
- perfect drawing-to-system-to-svg-to-blender-to-pumpkin workflow & scripts
- to think up anything else we can that emerges from the activity
