Ever wondered how computer-generated imagery could be realistic enough that it's seamlessly integrated into films? How Pixar and Dreamworks generate entire lifelike movies without any live footage at all?
Well, it's easier than one would expect! And with Blender, a powerful open-source 3D animation and modeliing program, it's also free.
This course will cover the basics of using Blender in three sessions. Each one stands on its own, but if you attend all of them you'll be fully-equipped to start making your own CGI movies and special effects.
Please bring a charged laptop to class.
