3D Modeling Innovation (Formerly Intro to 3D Model & Animation)

Due to inclement weather with forecasted extremely cold early morning temperatures, all schools in the St. Vrain Valley School District will be on a weather delay, and school will start 2 hours later than our normal schedule for Tuesday, January 21. Click here for information about inclement weather schedules.

When the district remains open, but you believe that weather conditions in your specific area are unsafe or otherwise problematic for transporting your student to school, please feel free to contact your school’s attendance clerk to obtain an excused absence for your student. If weather conditions cause you to keep your student at home, they will be able to make up any missed schoolwork without penalty.

Debido al mal tiempo con temperaturas pronosticadas extremadamente frías a primera hora de la mañana, todas las escuelas de St. Vrain Valley tendrán un retraso por el mal tiempo, y la escuela comenzará 2 horas más tarde del horario normal el martes 21 de enero.

Cuando el distrito permanezca abierto, pero usted crea que las condiciones del clima en su área específica no son seguras o pudieran representar un problema para transportar a su estudiante a la escuela, siéntase en libertad de comunicarse con la empleada de la asistencia escolar de su escuela, para obtener una falta justificada para su estudiante. Si las condiciones severas del clima causan que mantengan a sus estudiantes en casa, ellos podrán reponer cualquier trabajo o tareas perdidos sin ningún castigo.

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.
