Let's Keep Engineering: 3D Modeling and Fundamentals sets the stage for learners to start making their mark in the 3D virtual world! This class teaches the mindset, basic skills and the introduction to not just one, but two different 3D modeling programs! This self-paced course seeks to give shorter length class durations to help keep learners engaged. I keep the powerpoint presentations very short to be able to maximize the demonstrations and hands-on 3D modeling and keep the whole class generally between 20 and 30 minutes in length. The whole course can be completed in a day if someone is so driven :) Workload is minimal, and applying the skills from the lessons is asked of the learners. I do my best to respond within 24 hours of any comments (typically much shorter than that) to make sure that questions and comments get addressed in a timely manner. Jump on in, the 3D modeling is fine!
