3D Modelling/Animation

Objective: By the end of this lesson, students will understand the basics of 3D modeling and animation, the differences between 2D and 3D animation, the practical applications of 3D modeling in various industries, and how to install and set up Blender for hands-on practice.

Welcome to Lesson 2! In this lesson, you will learn how to navigate Blender’s interface, understand Object Mode vs. Edit Mode, and use basic transformation tools to move, rotate and scale objects.

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
✅ Identify and navigate Blender’s interface.
✅ Understand the difference between Object Mode and Edit Mode.
✅ Move, rotate, and scale objects effectively in Blender.

Introduction

Welcome to your first lesson in 3D modeling this week! In this lesson, you will learn about the fundamental building blocks of 3D objects: vertices, edges, and faces. You will also explore topology and mesh structure, which are essential concepts for creating smooth and efficient 3D models.

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
✅ Identify vertices, edges, and faces in a 3D model.
✅ Understand how meshes are structured.
✅ Explain the importance of topology in 3D modeling.
