3D Modeling, Animation, Compositing, and Special Effects

Description (2 Units)

If it’s not animated, it’s just not that much fun. In this course, you’ll be given the tools to create innovative and engaging 3D animations in just 15 weeks. You’ll get hands-on instruction with an industry-standard 3D animation package that will teach you the fundamentals of building mesh objects, applying surfaces to objects, and lighting scenes. You’ll also explore volumetrics, modifiers, particle systems, booleans, and inverse kinematics. The result? You’ll leave the course with a short 3D animation that you designed – and the desire to learn more!
