Skills Covered

Master the Art of 3D Modeling and Animation for Gaming

This hands-on training delves deeply into the world of 3D modeling and animation tailored for video games. It begins with an overview of the fundamental concepts of 3D graphics, including the principles of modeling, how to use popular software applications like Blender, Maya, or 3ds Max, and the importance of understanding polygons, vertices, and meshes. Participants will learn step-by-step how to create both organic and hard-surface models, emphasizing techniques to enhance realism and artistic quality. The course will then transition to texturing and materials, where attendees will discover how to apply textures to their models, exploring UV mapping and material properties necessary for game engines. Students will get hands-on experience in creating textures that add depth and realism to their assets. Rigging and animation are vital aspects of bringing characters and objects to life in games. The training covers setting up skeletons for characters and explains the principles of animating actions, facial expressions, and movements. Through practical exercises, participants will gain confidence in creating smooth, dynamic animations. In the final segment, the focus shifts to optimizing assets for game engines, promoting knowledge of best practices to ensure models perform well in real-time environments. The training concludes with a project where participants will apply what they have learned to create a game-ready asset. By the end of this training, participants will not only have developed their artistic skills but will also understand the technical requirements of 3D game assets, making them well-prepared for entry-level roles in the gaming industry.
