LABORATORY CLASSES

1. Introduction to the Blender environment, mouse and keyboard operation – user interface
2. Adding basic primitives; translation, rotation, scaling, keyboard shortcuts and mouse operation
3. Rendering (Blender and Cycles engines), materials and textures, procedural textures, working in the UV Editor and Nodes
4. Still life modeling (e.g. a glass, fork, chair, key, oven, bedside lamp, chamber pot), texturing, lighting; modifiers: Subdivision Surface, Mirror, Screw
5. Elements of physics in Blender – collisions between bodies, creating basic animations, keyframes and interpolation; rigid body, soft body; initial velocity of objects
6. More on 3D modeling – practical exercises (room interiors, exterior building modeling, tools facilitating building creation); MetaBall objects; texture painting; parametric modeling – gears and gear mechanisms
7. Armatures and skeletal animation – chest, hand, humanoid character
8. Camera and animation (dependencies: movement along a path, camera orientation toward an object)
9. Video Editor – combining videos and images, adding music, subtitles and simple effects
10. Dimensioning (MeasureIt add-on), creating files for 3D printing, linking elements through dependencies
11. Selected add-ons (Extra Object, ArchiMesh, BoltFactory and others)

If time permits (depending on the group's level of advancement):
a) working with images and videos: creating videos – timelapse; video effects (e.g. blurring/covering the face of a person)
b) adding 3D effects to videos, motion tracking
