In this workshop we will be creating some basic scenes to learn about the modelling process. We will begin modelling a small house with rooms and internal structures and progress to a subway scene and a large city. We will then look at textures and lighting the scene before rendering it as a digital image worthy of your portfolio. If you want to make your own scenes for movies of games with VFX this is the place to begin. Students will also be introduced to stock 3D websites that will help fill out their scenes with Creative Commons content.
