We use a hands-on approach and by the end of the day you will be confident in creating complex 3D models.

    Course Target Audience and delegate prerequisites:

    This course is intended for those with little or no experience in 3D drawing, and is a perfect starting point for graphic designers and other creative professionals.

    You will need basic PC or Mac skills, including a solid understanding of a computer's operating system (Windows or Mac OS). You will also need to know how to launch a program, create and save files, and copy files from CDs and other media.
