An Introduction to 3D with Blender
An Introduction to 3D with Blender
A two-day workshop held in November 2022, Raffles Institution (Junior College)
Perhaps because digital 3D processes are so indispensable to the entertainment, marketing, and construction industries, they are often relegated to industrial means of production. However, they constitute a uniquely powerful representational medium. This workshop aims to provide a conceptual overview of digital 3D art, and the foundational technical knowledge to construct images and question the nature of perception.
