Full Course Description

This class explores the world of 3D modeling. Basic concepts of working in 3D and common terms are covered. We will look at different modeling techniques and briefly cover lighting, texturing and rendering of models. This class is design for beginners, and for people that might just want to explore 3D modeling to see if the genre is for them.

This course also features a message board that allows students to pose questions, discuss class topics and get feedback from the instructor. It's the electronic equivalent to classroom discussion, which can be so helpful in learning.
