Blender: 3D Intro Class

Learn the basic concepts of animating a digital model in 3D.

We will use models of humans, vehicles, furniture, fixtures, and special effects designed by the Blender community of artists. Position your models, adjust lighting, create animation sequences, and capture the frames from isometric camera angles. The end result will be a set of rendered frames that can be used in Game Maker as animated sprites or backgrounds.

You could modify race car models or the shock wave explosion of the Death Star from Star Wars, and even produce several viewing angles for use in Game Maker. Blender is a free 3D modeling and animation software that has all the basic functions of expensive and extensive professional software such as Maya or 3DS Max.
