Blender Intro Week Results
In the following we document the process of the Blender introduction week for the spring semester course 2013. The video of day 2 was also part of the first excercise, which consist of creating a path animation.
Week 1: Introduction to Programming
You will learn the basics of programming in Python. The exercise will make you familiar with basic concepts, such as loops and conditional statements.
Week 2: Object-Oriented Programming and Algorithms
We will advance our knowledge in progromming with Python. The goal of this weeks lecture is to understand the basic concepts of object oriented programming. We will also look at some famous algorithms; how they work and what we can use them for.
Week 4: Dynamic Modelling and Simulation
We will look into basic modelling and simulation concepts. We will gain insights into agent based and grid based modelling.
Week 8: Tripod Motion (Compositing) Template & Workpackages
What you need to proceed and succeed. A bunch of links, lots of example files, hints. Task description for Friday April 12th.
