Object Adventures - 3D Modeling 101

Welcome lords and ladies as we travel back into history and fantasy and learn to create weapons of the past. In this one week camp we focus on one to two items each day learning 3d modeling from the beginning. In this class our nobles will learn to create mace, shield, sword, bow and arrows to fight enemies that could attack their castles or towns. If you are interested in making your own historical or fantasy weapons for Roblox or other games and want to learn a little history as well then join me in this thrilling adventure into the past.

We will go through basic potato heading, low polygon and high polygon modeling techniques along with a basic guide into setting a stage for their mighty weapons for the world to see. We will be using the software Blender as our platform to work on our 3d models. This is a free software and available at the website https://www.blender.org/.

Each class will be 60 mins where the nobles will spend an 50 minutes following along with me and then 10 minutes to work on the daily homework assignment in camp and ask questions from me. Each day the nobles will receive a different assignment to continue after class. These modeling assignments will take at least 1 hour of time after camp and are due an hour before the start of the next camp meeting.

Day 1 - Mace -  I will introduce nobles to moving around in a 3d world and creating their first models using potato head modeling.
Day 2 - Shield and Arrows - I will introduce nobles to low polygon modeling and using the editing tools.
Day 3 - Bow and Quiver - We will expand using the editing tools and learn a few modifiers along the way.
Day 4 - Swords -  We will work on high polygon modeling.
Day 5 - Nobles will play with lights, cameras, and animations to show off their work.
