Computer Animation II W/ Blender

Class Description

Rigging! Texturing! Dynamics! Delving into advanced topics in computer animation, students learn to articulate their characters for more complex movement, shape their appearance and use technology to create effects that would be impossible to create by hand. Using his experience as a successful College Animation Instructor, Conor MacFinn covers the principles of animation, computer modeling, rigging and articulation and rendering. Students complete the course with a small animated film they designed, strong foundational skills and the ability to move ahead more quickly in this artistic field. At the beginning of every following class, students will show their assignments and receive feedback to strengthen their skills. Students should have completed Computer Animation I W/ Blender or have equivalent experience! Students will need a relatively up-to-date computer (within the past five years) that is capable of running Blender. *** Blender runs only on PCs and Macs and cannot run on mobile devices or Chrome Books. *** A detailed list of requirements can be found here: https://www.blender.org/download/requirements/ Please be logged in from the same device as the student will be working on so I can assist them via screen-share.
