Year 9 - Arts: 3D Modelling and Animation
Year 9 - Arts: 3D Modelling and Animation
OverviewStudents develop an understanding of basic 3D modelling and animation techniques through a series of learning modules. Topics studied include understanding 3D primitives, low polygon modelling, lighting, materials properties, rendering, basic animation, simulations, careers, and the history of 3D animation. The subject is designed to build skills in Art, Maths and Technology. Students will be given the opportunity to create objects in a 3D space and print them using a resin printer.
