This course will introduce you to computer 3D modelling and animation. Emphasis is placed on learning techniques, principles and strategies to enable on-going independent learning of the specialist 3D software used. A wide variety of processes will be reviewed in order to provide an overall awareness of the complete 3D animation production process. Technical processes introduced include modelling, texturing, simple rigging, keyframe animation, lighting and rendering.
Once you have gained enough familiarity with essential processes, you will produce a short animation that demonstrates your culminated learning.
Most class sessions will contain demonstrations of a particular process by the instructor, reinforced with exercises and tasks for you to perform. 3D Production is comprised of many essential processes that once understood, offer a powerful digital toolset for creative expression and further refinement.
