About
**This workshop will be live streamed via Zoom.**
This is a two session introduction to Blender, a full featured 3D design tool. Blender is open source (free!) and very sophisticated. It is used for computer animation, game development, and 3D modeling. You will learn the basics: installation, general use of the tool, and explore modeling, textures, lighting and general rendering.
Each of the two sessions are 2 hours in length.
Session 1:
- Introduction: what is blender?
- Download and Installation
- Exploring the interface
After the first session, students should be able create and render their first 3D model.
Session 2
- Modeling
- Materials and textures
- Lighting
- Animation
- Rendering
After the second session, students should be able to animate, light, and texture a basic 3D model. This will be a hands-on class, so the students will have a good mix of learning through observation and by doing. A 3-button mouse (with scroll wheel) is recommended.
