3D Modeling Innovation (Formerly Intro to 3D Model & Animation)
Craft Your Hero: 3D Model, Story, and Inspire!
In this hands-on course, students will explore the dynamic world of 3D modeling using Blender and various 2D software applications. The primary focus will be on creating a unique action figure inspired by a "hero" from history or personal experience.
Students will embark on a journey that combines artistic creativity and technical skills, learning to design and model their action figure for multiple formats, including rendered still images and animations. The final product will also be suitable for 3D printing, ensuring that the model is articulated and posable.
Throughout the course, students will conduct research on their chosen hero, developing a compelling backstory that will serve as the foundation for their project. This will culminate in the creation of a storyboard and a concise origin story graphic novel, limited to 6-7 pages. Each student will package their graphic novel alongside their action figure, creating a cohesive narrative experience.
By the end of the course, students will have not only honed their 3D modeling skills but also gained experience in storytelling, character design, and the practical aspects of preparing a model for production. This innovative course is ideal for aspiring artists, designers, and storytellers eager to bring their ideas to life.
