to generate high-quality images from a 3D model or scene by taking into account lighting, materials and other properties

a rendering technique that creates realistic images by simulating the paths of light rays as they interact with objects in a scene

to save image, animation, model or scene data in a file format that can be used by other software or applications

Render and export animations

Computing

Move, rotate, scale, colour

Keyframe animation and parenting objects

Complex models and colours

Organic modelling

Lighting and cameras

In this unit pupils will discover how to create 3D animations using industry-standard software.  They will gain a greater understanding of how 3D animation is used to make the media products that we consume. They will explore the basics of modelling, texturing, animating to create 3D models.
