I'm teaching a class called 3D for Illustration at The Rhode Island School of Design. I've been teaching the class for about eight years. I started with Cinema 4D, but for the last three years, I've been using Blender and ZBrush. I got tired of students asking me about cracked software, and I was finding that I was using Blender more and more in my personal artistic exploration and in some professional jobs. As far as I know, it was the first class revolving around FOSS at RISD, although there are now classes involving Processing, as well.<BR>
<BR>
The class doesn't explicitly go into animation, though, just modeling, texturing, and rendering. Special emphasis is placed on Blender as a creative tool, rather than as a means to reproduce stuff that's already out there, whether the real world or the latest high-rez game. <BR>
<BR>
I'm happy to post the relatively rough course description I've written up for my students--it's week-by-week for a twelve week semester, but it's fairly bare-bones, and I constantly tweak stuff based on whether the students are "getting it" or not, so it's really more of a road map than a detailed travelogue.<BR>
If there's interest, should I just send it out as plaintext or post it as a PDF?<BR>
Best,<BR>
Nick J.<BR>
