Using Blender 3D for Modeling, Rendering and Animation

With the fast pace ICT is getting into our educational curriculum, the art student today can do more than traditional art and craft, with the computer. Check out this site on introduction to Three-Dimensional Modeling, Animation and Rendering Using Blender 3D 2.4 software. It has a series of twelve seminars with PDF tutorials and video input to giude through the rich  tools and abilities of Blender 3D in computer generated 3-D modeling and animation.. Check out the Learning Units!

Blender is an open source software.  Must have Real Media Player and Adobe Reader installed in your computer.

“Like many creative activities, 3-dimensional design and modeling combines technical skill with artistic imagination. Understanding the intricacies of software-manipulated objects is of little value unless accompanied with a strong awareness of creative self-expression. It is important while progressing through this course to focus your efforts on the creative projects and understand that the Video and PDF tutorials are but a set of tools whose value is totally dependent on a creative and artistic goal.”

This course was designed by Tufts University for the Summer of 2006                                   http://ocw.tufts.edu/Course/28/Coursehome
