3D Animation

This is the main web page for the unit 3D Animation, which runs in semester 1 each year.  The unit covers the basic principles of creating still and moving images using a 3D program and also invites students to develop a critical appraisal of 3D and its function in contemporary visual culture.

The lecturer is Dr Sam Hinton.

Key resources:

• MARKING SHEETS for peer and self assessment [PDF, 84K]
• Unit Outline and additional information - all students must read the information here. 
• Readings - unit readings, by week
• Lecture notes - these will become available after the lecture each week
• del.icio.us tagfeed - a del.icio.us tagfeed that lists useful 3D resources (use uc7882 to tag new items). 
• Blender - this is a link to the web site for Blender, the 3D program we'll be using this semester.
• Media - example renderings from Blender
• Teams - team members for the final group project
• Frequently asked questions - questions about Blender asked by students (and answers to them!)

Students enrolled in 3D Animation should make sure they have thoroughly read the unit outline and additional unit information as these contain important information you will need to pass the unit.

Sam Hinton says: Thanks James, that's great. Blender has been good to work with so far - hoping that we (the class) can give something back to the Blender community through this unit. Mar 31, 2008 12:29 ( Permalink | Reply To This )
