LABORATORY CLASSES

1. introduction to the Blender environment, using the mouse and keyboard – user interface
2. adding predefined primitives; translation, rotation, scaling, keyboard shortcuts and mouse operations
3. rendering (Blender and Cycles engines), materials and textures, procedural textures, working in the UV Editor and with Nodes
4. modeling still-life objects (e.g. 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 simple animations, keyframes and interpolation; rigid body, soft body; initial velocity of objects
6. more on 3D modeling – practical exercises (room interior, exterior of a building, add-ons facilitating building creation); MetaBall objects; texture painting; parametric modeling – gears and gear mechanisms
7. armatures and skeletal animation – chest, hand, character
8. camera and animation (dependencies: movement along a path, orienting the camera 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 proficiency):
a) working with images and videos: creating videos – timelapse; video effects (e.g. blurring/covering the face of a character),
b) adding 3D effects to videos, tracking objects in a video
