Date: 2016-12-11

This tutorial video is designed to introduce you to Beetle Blocks. Beetle Blocks is a new tool for making 3D models. It’s free, and runs in Google Chrome. Beetle Blocks is a project by Eric Rosenbaum, Duks Koschitz, and Bernat Romagosa, with additional software development by Jens Mönig.

Beetle Blocks offers some unique and exciting ways to use simple blocks of code to generate models that can range from simple to incredibly complex. It's quite different from most traditional 3D design tools, such as Autodesk Fusion 360, so check out this tutorial to get a good overview of what it is and how it works.

This video features closed captioning, so be sure to turn on CC if it is helpful to you as you learn.
