SND’s 3D graphics QuickCourse was in San Francisco this weekend for a two-day workshop focused on Newtek’s LightWave. SND Update caught up with the course’s two speakers, South Florida Sun-Sentinel’s Len DeGroot and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram’s Steve Wilson, along Ocean Beach outside San Francisco’s Beach Chalet.
Steve Wilson spoke to the Update about his natural progression from hand-drawn illustration to 3D graphics. He noted that 3D “can be a time saver for making breaking news graphics and illustrations. I don’t know how many times I have reused the same Space Shuttle model for breaking news. Also, 3D is great for making animations that can be used on the web.”

Len DeGroot and his staff at the Sun-Sentinel recently started a graphics blog. Using research materials and past graphics, Len and his staff find they can react much faster using their blog. Len spoke a little about the benefits of the blog.
