3D MODELING
Focus on base character modeling, to help students learn the critical elements of digital figure modelling that distinguish levels of refinement and quality in character models.
Modeling methodology. Aligning objects in the each view port in X, Y, Z axis. Introduction to various 3D modelling Techniques: - Inorganic Modeling, Mechanical & Technical Modelling.
