Goals

Students will learn how to create simple meshes in Blender and manipulate them in 3D space.

Skills

  • Blender layout, tools, and panels
  • Adding mesh objects
  • Transform mesh objects (move, scale, rotate, etc).

Assignment Details

Create a scene or single complex object containing at least 20 different simple primitive meshes (shapes). Simple primitives meshes are planes, cubes, spheres, circles, cylinders, etc. An example of a scene would be a room with chairs, a couch, and a table. An example of a complex object would be a Christmas tree with branches, ornaments, and a star on top
