Blender 101

Blender is an amazing 3D program that is absolutely on fire in the animation and VFX community. For good reason! It is a robust piece of software that provides 3D modeling, animation and VFX that provides stunning results and costs nothing to own!

This class will be your hands-on introduction to the 2D/3D workflow in Blender. You will model a simple CG asset and follow the Blender pipeline as you texture, animate, light, and render the asset. You will also use Blender’s tracking tool to integrate the CG asset into some background footage and composite the final elements in Blender.

You will become familiar with navigation in Blender, the interface, and the powerful tools that rival most popular 3D packages.

Duration: 8 Weeks (30 hours)

Prerequisite: Working knowledge of software programs such as Photoshop or Illustrator.  You need a recent vintage Mac or PC with 8GB of RAM and a good graphics card. For you laptop users, you will need  a three-button mouse and a full keyboard.  If working from a small screen, a large or second monitor is going to make life easier!
