Welcome to the 3D Animation and Modeling web site. This is where you come for instructions and helpful information regarding your 3D projects. Every day when you get to class open this page.

There are three catagories of projects in this class: Special FX, Compositing, and Environments. Together they form the basis of your 3D Animation and Modeling reel. You will also learn basic editig skills. A reel is what you show potential clients and/or employers. The reel can be uploaded to the web (YouTube, Behance, FaceBook etc.) as well as burned onto a DVD/CD. Your reel is always a work in progress: that is, you never stop changing, adding to it and makng it better!

These three catagories integrate most of the basic skills you will need to be a sucessful 3D artist. Take a moment to look at the samples. Use these as inspiration to create your own animations. Remember clients hire you for your creativity as well as your skills.
