Topic One: How will you explore 3D animation

TinkerCAD:

Tinkercad is a fun and user-friendly online tool that lets you create 3D designs and models. It's like a virtual workshop where you can bring your ideas to life in three dimensions. The best part is, you don't need to be an expert in 3D design to use it!

With Tinkercad, you can start with basic shapes and easily manipulate them to create more complex objects. It's a bit like playing with virtual building blocks. You can stretch, shrink, rotate, and combine different shapes to invent your own unique creations.

Whether you're interested in designing cool gadgets, creating characters, or building architectural models, Tinkercad provides a simple and intuitive platform to turn your imagination into a 3D reality. It's a great way to explore the world of 3D design and have fun while doing it

Points to consider:

• If you are interested in careers in engineering or the technology sector TinkerCAD can give you a great base for similar computer programs you will use in these courses

• TinkerCAD will be accessible on your computer at all times 

• Requires patience 

• Potentially will be able to 3D print your designs

Clay Animation:

Clay animation, also known as claymation, is a form of stop-motion animation that uses clay or similar malleable materials to create characters and scenes. The process involves taking a series of photographs, each capturing a small movement of the characters or objects, and then playing them in rapid succession to create the illusion of motion. 

Points to consider:

• Not as easily brought home

• Will take a lot of patience and time

When you have chosen which one you will complete simply indicate that under Activity One.
