What is 3D animation?
3D animation is a digital art form that involves creating moving images using three-dimensional computer-generated graphics. Unlike traditional 2D animation, which is flat and lacks depth, 3D animation adds a sense of realism and depth to characters, environments, and objects. It is achieved through complex software that allows animators to model, texture, rig, animate, and render objects in a 3D space.
What is Odd Robot Academy?
Odd Robot Academy is a special service exclusive to the Central Coast. We provide in person home tutoring and online lessons in a program called Blender. Blender is powerful and free 3D animation software which can be used to make movies, video game assets and models to 3D print. We teach the latest techniques to set our students up with the skills they need to create their own projects.
We also provide 3D Art Therapy and Mentoring sessions which focus on developing technical, communication, artistic and problem solving skills.
You can download Blender for free here.
Our Lessons
Our lessons are 1 hour long and usually taught once or twice a week. We like to tailor our lessons to suit our students interests and needs. If the student is interested in Spiderman then we can incorporate him into our lessons. We have a wide variety of 3D assets covering many different genres of pop culture.
All of our lessons will require the student to have a working computer or laptop, an up to date copy of Blender and a mouse. Online lessons will also require a second monitor and a headset for communication. Our online lessons are taught from our private Discord server.
Lesson types
We come to you! One-on-one home tutoring offers personalized attention and tailored learning experiences that cater to the individual needs of students. The convenience of learning in a familiar environment like home eliminates distractions, enhances concentration, and promotes a positive learning atmosphere. Additionally, one-on-one tutoring allows for flexibility in scheduling, making it easier to accommodate busy lifestyles and ensure consistent progress.
Online lessons offer convenience and flexibility, allowing students to learn from anywhere at any time. Additionally, online lessons often provide opportunities for real-time feedback and assessment, enabling students to track their progress and address areas of improvement promptly. Our online lessons are performed from our Discord server. The student will need a second monitor and headset to communicate.
We are currently setting up a classroom for a more economical learning option. Check back soon for more information.
We offer group classes at a reduced cost compared to one on one lessons. Email us to find out more!
