Anim8or in the Classroom
I have just completed instructing 75 freshmen in a 1 day course entitled Introduction to 3D animation. The course introduces high school student to the fundamentals of 3D animation. I chose Anim8or as our software because it's easy to use, free, and has everything needed to make short animated films. The course was a great success and the student really enjoyed learning Anim8or and making short films.
The course is a web-siminar laid out over several web pages. I would like to make those pages available to the Anim8or community. It's a great place to get started if you are new or haven't used the software in a while. The course covers the creation of character and environment models, scenes, and a short animated film. Topic covered are object modeling, texturing, and animation. Texture Mapping, Set Layout, Scene Lighting, and Camera Movement are also highlights of this course.
I just wanted to share... so here's the link:
