There were also fewer add-ons to sort through, so the process of picking the most useful was relatively straightforward. My specialties include public speaking, creative writing, 2D & 3D animation, sculpture and painting.When I first wrote this article a few years ago, there weren't many helpful lists of Blender add-ons and several hidden gems remained undiscovered. I have also written and produced several plays including the Off-Broadway sold-out production of my debut play, 'Passing.' I won the award for Best African American Filmmaker at the Brooklyn Film Festival for my short digital animation 'la Revolution.' I also wrote and produced the feature film 'Sweeter Without Sugar' that was screened by the American Diabetes Association for a special diabetes awareness event. I got my Associate Degree in Interactive Media.
