3D Animation (Ages 12 – 14)
Youth After School | Available
Students will learn the basics of 3D animation and make their own 3D animated gifs. No prior knowledge of animation or 3D computer programs is required! We’ll explore how to navigate and create in Blender, the free and accessible computer graphics software used for professional 3D animation, 3D printing, video game creation, and more! By the end of the class, students will walk away with a basic understanding of digital 3D modeling and 3D animation as well as a digital file of the animation they’ll have created from scratch.
- Please bring a USB drive if possible.
Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.
