Blender 3D Modeling and Animation Level 2 In this 10 lesson project-based course, students will learn various techniques to model, render, and animate in the 3D software blender. Our lessons teach fundamental skills to use 3D software such as modeling, texturing, UV unwrapping, texture painting, rigging, and animation. Students will learn to make their very own character that can be implemented into common 3D game engines or used in their own personal animations or artworks. Students will learn a new concept in every lesson with vital feedback instruction from our experienced coaches. All students will be asked to apply what they’ve learned in a final project that will be presented to their peers. There will be some reinforcement quizzes for students to complete after lessons, along with review games that will be played in the final class meetings to ensure students remember material and are prepared to take the next steps in their 3D adventures. For a week to week program, check out the syllabus.
Learning Goals
In this 10-lesson course using Blender, students learn essential 3D modeling, texturing, rigging, and animation techniques to create custom characters usable in games or personal projects, receiving valuable feedback from coaches.
Culminating in a final project presentation, the course includes quizzes and review games to solidify learning and prepare students for further exploration in 3D design.
Syllabus
10 Lessons
over 2 WeeksLesson 1:
Basic concept review
An introduction to what Blender is and how it can be used. All basic controls, menus, and tools are reviewed to ensure students are comfortable and prepared for the intermediate concepts covered in future lessons.
60 mins online live lesson
Lesson 2:
Character Modeling
Students will implement their knowledge of modeling techniques and modifiers to model a humanoid character that will be improved upon throughout the course. Discussion will be held on how good topology techniques can make animation easier.

Parental Guidance
Dear Parents,
In this 10 lesson class, your students will learn how to create 3D Modeling and Animation using Blender. They will also learn how to export their models into Roblox. Blender 3D is an open-source software which can be downloaded for FREE. There is no need to create an account, register or share any personal information in order to use it. However, we highly recommend you to register an account at https://id.blender.org/register/. This step allows students to share their projects with instructors if they need help, and also show off their creations to others.
