Make Better Figures

Ask any scientist and they will tell you that figures are the backbone of a good paper or presentation. Great figures tell a story and help communicate core concepts quickly and accessibly. I believe that eliminating barriers to better figures helps improve scientific communication for everyone. I also believe that high quality figures should be accessible to everyone, regardless of circumstance, and that learning should have no associated cost.

For these reasons I chose to build CGFigures around the 3D software Blender. My tutorials and scientific assets address science-specific subjects and help scientists take control over the design and customization of their own figures, with or without prior graphic design experience. All the tutorials and assets are free and always will be.

My scientific background spans engineering, physics, chemistry, and biology. By bringing all of these to bear I aim to ensure that no subject, no matter how specialized, is left uncovered. My sincere hope is that these tutorials and assets will help you improve your work and that together we can build the Blender scientific community.
