3D Modeling and Animation Class A (Part 1)
Overview
3D Modelling is using specialized computer software to create graphics to represent an object in a 3D space; it is done by manipulating points in a virtual space and can produce objects that are fully animated. The final product is essential for character animation and special effects along with many creative industries. This technology can help artists communicate their ideas to others.
The usage of 3D modelling is growing as more industries require using computers to generate graphics for their products. Advance software provides artists the tools to bring these creations to life. A number of careers are using this tool in their jobs; film-set designers have been using it to design their environment, engineers and architects have been using it to plan and design their work. After participants learn how to use these tools, they can create models and sculptures, advertisements, games, web creation and product designs, these designs can then be used in a variety of works, including virtual reality (VR), films, TV, commercials and video games.
3D modelling is popularly used by game designers, where its usage has increased exponentially over the years to help create scenes and characters. But beyond the creative industries, more careers have been incorporating this technology in their work; marketing specialists use this technology to create scenes for their marketing campaigns, architectures find this technology useful as they can build a mock-up of their designs virtually. It has even helped healthcare professionals better understand patients’ health issues through constructing body structures and helped find better solutions for the patient.
3D modelling is was worth over billions of dollars in 2019 and is one of the fastest growing markets to build and design markets. The online live course aims to introduce the technique of 3D modeling and animation to the participants after completion of the course, participants will be able to create 3D objects and scenes, create 3D animation and can develop their skills to work in projects of different fields.
