Learn the Basics of Blender: a 3D Modeling Class

Description:
Blender is a popular open-source 3D creation suite used for modeling, animation, sculpting, rendering, and video editing. This class will teach the basics of 3D modeling using Blender. Students will choose from a set of classic fantasy-inspired references to learn the following concepts:
- sculpting a clothed figure
- retopology, or how to restructure the surface of the 3D mesh
- armature usage
- posing the figure
Students will leave with their own files, ready to be processed for a variety of uses from texturing to animation to 3D printing. The class itself will take three hours with a short break in the middle.
Disclaimer: This class will not cover all aspects, features, or uses of Blender. Advanced modeling and texturing will not be included.
Prerequisites: No experience necessary. You may bring your own laptop or portable PC with Blender installed or use one of our lab computers.
