Introduction to 3D Animation

Dive into the fundamentals of 3D animation, including principles of movement, timing, and storytelling in a three-dimensional space.

Modeling

Learn to create 3D models using industry-standard software such as Autodesk Maya or Blender. Understand techniques for creating both organic and inorganic models.

Texturing and Shading

Explore the art of texturing and shading to add realism and depth to your 3D models. Learn about UV mapping, material creation, and procedural texturing techniques.

Rigging

Master the art of rigging, the process of creating skeletons and controls for 3D models, essential for animating characters and objects realistically.

Animation Principles 

Delve deeper into animation principles such as squash and stretch, anticipation, and follow-through. Understand how to breathe life into your characters through movement.

Lighting and Rendering

Learn to set up lights and render scenes effectively to achieve desired moods and atmospheres. Explore rendering techniques and optimization for final output.

Special Effects

Discover techniques for adding special effects such as particles, dynamics, and simulations to enhance the visual appeal of your animations.

Project Work

Apply the skills and knowledge gained throughout the course to complete a series of hands-on projects, culminating in a final portfolio piece that showcases your proficiency in 3D animation.
