About this course:

Free and open-source, Blender has become increasingly important to Web3D world builders, AR and VR developers, animators, game and level designers.

Instruction covers basic modeling and editing tools, creating materials and textures, UV maps, basic animation, organizing projects, and most importantly, optimizing assets for a variety of spatial media projects. Students will output various projects in a series of live workshop session and lectures. No prior experience necessary.
