• Studio producers/managers who want to learn what 3D can offer their studio
• Freelancers who want an understanding of how to offer 3D to their clients
• Teachers and other educators thinking of offering 3D classes or introducing 3D into their courses

Topics covered will include:

• Modeling with primitives
• Boolean modeling
• NURBS modeling
• Polygon level modeling
