Syllabus
General:
The 3D Design Blender course is intended to offer
students an introduction to the world of computer generated 3-D
modeling. As an introductory course, it provides a basic understanding
of the skills and techniques employed by 3-D designers in a wide range
of applications. In this online course, we will explore basic mesh
modeling, texturing, lighting, animation and rendering. This course
should provide a good basis for further independent study in
architectural, engineering, game, theatrical and character modeling.
