  • Introduction to 3D graphics

    3D graphics is everywhere nowadays. Movies, advertising, science & technology, education, you name an area and 3D graphics are used. With endless applications, it is not only fun to use but it opens many more possibilities to make much more informative and appealing graphics than by traditional means.

    Making a 3D Graphics production involves many different aspects and stages, and it can be intimidating to try to learn everything. This complexity is why people usually specialize in a specific computer graphics area, such as only modeling or animation. However, it is important that even if you only model, you need to know at least animation basics, to produce objects that an animator could readily use.

    This course will cover all the major steps and aspects in creating 3D graphics: Modeling, animation, shading and rendering. That is why this course is useful not only for complete beginners, trying to get into the world of 3D, but also for users who want to be more efficient in their team and better understand the various requests of others with different specialities.

    The concepts learned in the course will be applied using Autodesk's Softimage, a very flexible software that can be used for all the steps needed to create 3D animations. By using only one tool we avoid learning a different interface for each topic. However, the knowledge that you will acquire here can be directly used in any other package.

    This course enables you to kill two birds with one stone. This seminar covers the basic concepts of both the popular Bash shell, also known as the Bourne Again Shell, and the programming language Python. You will learn how to write small shell scripts to master your Linux administration chores and you will acquire the necessary skills to formulate an algorithm in Python. Like most of our other courses, you can book this one for an on-site or in-house training, e.g. in Zurich, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin, London and Paris.
