The QGIS 3D view can display your points as basic shapes like cubes, spheres and cylinders. But what if you would like to display something more complex, like a tree, a car or an arrow?

Blender 3D is an open source software application for creating and editing 3D objects, among many other features for creating animation movies.

In this workshop you will learn
* the basics of the Blender user interface
* how to create your own object
* export your object with the right settings
* import your object into QGIS
* display your data with your object

The workshop is for beginners. Just make sure you have a recent version of QGIS and Blender installed on your laptop. And bring a mouse!

Why displaying your data with boring static circles and squares if it can look so much better?!

During this micro workshop you will learn how to make more interesting (and funny) symbols using expressions and some hidden QGIS features.

To follow along, bring your laptop with a recent version of QGIS installed. Or just consider this session a presentation and sit back and watch.
