Welcome to your unit working with Blender!

Throughout this unit you will be focusing on your main learning goal of learning basic 3D modeling and animation skills and applying those towards creating your own short animation.

By the end of this unit you will be able to answer the questions:

• What is different about working in a 3D setting compared to a typical 2D setting?

• How does creating a model impact how that model can be used in an animation?

You will know:

• How to edit a standard mesh and apply materials and textures to it.

• How to use effectively use 3D models in an animation.

You will be able to:

• Create 3D model and basic scene setting.

• Create a short animation using your own model.

The essential question that you will want to consider as you are progressing through this unit is:

• What skills do I need to have in order to effectively create a 3D model and animation?

If you feel comfortable with that, head over to the Resources page to get started on your first tutorial!  If you still have some questions, please ask or email Mr. Jamieson.
