This is a 6 week course. If you RSVP for this date you are RSVPing for the complete 6 week course (Wednesdays beginning March 18 through April 22). Please only RSVP if you are committed to attending to the whole series. We have a limited number of spaces in this free course. We will offer it again in the future if you cannot make these dates.



This course introduces students to the basic principles of 3D modeling, such as how to navigate in 3D space, what 3D models are made out of, and how to create simple forms and objects. The software used will be Sketchup, a free program that is excellent for beginners and professionals alike. Students will learn the ins and outs of the program, from basic techniques to advanced modeling concepts. This series is for people who have not already taken a 3D modeling class at HATCH.



Requirements:



• A free copy of Sketchup.



• A CAD-capable laptop or desktop. The computer must have a discrete graphics chip or a very new (last three years) onboard graphics chip.



• A three button (minimum) mouse.



• You must be an experienced Windows or Mac user.



• You should be able to utilize keyboard shortcuts and understand how to use computer file systems.
