While the emphasis of this course is on animation, you will also learn foundational modeling, texturing, rigging, and lighting concepts that build on each other. In the end, you will learn to harness your creativity to create a final animated scene you can be proud of!
*Students are encouraged to take the knowledge they gain from this course and create an entirely original scene using basic primitives.
