Intro To 3D Texturing and Modeling Using Photoshop & Blendr (Ages 16+)

Want to learn how to make texture art for 3D models in animation and video games? For this class, we’ll dive into the process of texture art and the techniques you can use to make your own 3D scenes come to life! We’re going to learn how to make our own textures in Photoshop and then import those textures into Blendr to create our own unique scenes.

Week 1 — Learning Photoshop and Blendr: We are exploring the basics of Photoshop and Blendr, focusing on their key features and tools to build a strong foundation for creating and manipulating digital assets.
Week 2 — Using Photoshop to Make Seamless Textures: We are mastering techniques in Photoshop to create seamless textures, which are essential for adding realism and detail to our 3D models and environments.
Week 3 — Making a Prop/Set Piece from Our Textures: We are using the seamless textures created in Photoshop to model and texture a prop or set piece in Blendr, applying our skills to develop detailed 3D assets for use in our scenes.
Week 4 — Create a Scene Out of Props & Set Pieces: We are assembling a complete scene in Blendr using the props and set pieces developed in previous weeks, focusing on composition, lighting, and presentation to bring our environment to life.
