3D Modeling Fundamentals for Entrepreneurs & Makers
About this Event
Have an idea for a product but not sure how to turn it into a 3D model?
Whether you're exploring a new business idea, developing a product, or looking for new ways to grow your existing business, understanding the fundamentals of 3D modeling can help you take an idea from concept toward something you can actually create.
This introductory workshop will break down the core concepts behind 3D modeling and help you understand how digital objects are built. Rather than focusing exclusively on one software program, the class will introduce concepts that can be applied across different 3D modeling tools.
