CLASS DESCRIPTION Students will model a new project each week. We will cover a wide variety of themes focusing on props, machines, vehicles, and architecture. This is an INTERMEDIATE level class, please see the PREQUISITES below. PUNCTUALITY POLICY: This is class is very process dependent, and students progress as a team through lessons. Students are required to show up on time or early to class ( : PREREQUISITE Students who have no MODELING (or Blender as a whole) experience are required to start in my INTRO TO 3D MODELING WITH BLENDER course. Students who have a strong modeling background can request to bypass the intro course by sending 3 screenshots of their BLENDER modeling work BEFORE signing up for this class. CLASS ROTATIONS There are 28 projects below in the weekly curriculum rotation. Students don't have to start at the beginning of the rotation. Each week is a stand alone project, they do not build on one another. The rotation repeats every 28 weeks. STUDENTS CAN START ANY TIME IF THEY MEET THE PREREQUISITE, CLASSES BELOW ARE NOT CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER.

If the lesson is not completed during class they will get an OPTIONAL video in the Outschool Classroom allowing them to complete their work on their own time. Students are encouraged to ask questions when they don't understand what is happening in the lesson. They will be encouraged to experiment within the specific parameters of the structured lesson. ABOUT 3D MODELING 3D models are used by a variety of industries including video games, product development, and engineering. The act of 3D modeling incorporates math and design skills through understanding the basic vocabulary of 3D objects (vertex, edge, face), learning to manipulate objects with a variety of tools, and using scale, measurement, and rotation to position those objects in the x, y, and z coordinates of the 3D scene.

Learning Goals
The main goal is to make sure students can understand and use 3D animation techniques successfully. The focus is on progress, not perfection.
