What the workshops will cover

We will cover the basics of these topics over the two workshops:

• Blender’s Interface.
• Box modelling.
• UV unwrapping.
• Rigging – make a basic 3D game character model with armature/skeleton for animation.

It’s a lot of material to cover. Thankfully we have an experienced 3D artist to guide us! There will also be homework between workshop days to help the new knowledge stick.

Our goal is to deliver a practical workshop that teaches you everything you need to know to leave the workshop with enough skills and confidence to create 3D art assets by yourself.

Our approach puts practicality first. Your instructor will guide you through the processes of 3D modelling in Blender. While you follow along, you are building up your ‘muscle memory’ of the skills. This approach will make 3D modeling become a more familiar, less daunting task.

Requirements

Please ensure you have the following at the workshop:

• A laptop/computer with its cables.
• A 3-button mouse (left-click, right-click and scroll-wheel)
• A copy of Blender installed.

You must be aged 18 or over to participate in this workshop.

All participants must agree to our Code of Conduct to participate in the workshop.

About Your Instructor

Your instructor will be Trevor Burke, a 3D artist working in the games industry.

Trevor has years of 3D experience with Blender as his modelling tool of choice.

Trevor has previously delivered a more pared-back version of this workshop as part of a gamejam survival series. For this intensive workshop, we will cover even more ground.

Part of something larger, #MarchOfGameDev

During March 2019, I’m organising a series of game development workshops in which lead to the next Galway Game Jam!

A gamejam is a game making event. You can take the skills you learn at these workshops to the gamejam, to apply them in a real life project with a team and get a taste of what it’s like to make games.

If you’d like to get in touch with me about this 3d Modelling workshop series, or #MarchOfGameDev events, you can email info@mindcauldron.com.
