Welcome to MMST 124, 3D Fundamentals -- Modeling, Texturing, and Animation. This is a lot to swallow in 16 weeks. The syllabus is posted. This class requires no specific text, but I have recommended texts available on my site. I also recommend you check the training tab on my site for 3DS Max/general 3D links, downloads and resources.

We will use this blog in connection with the College's MyCOM portal. These will be our links to eachother between classes -- MyCOM is a place to post work in progress, links, questions, news items, events, etc. All of you are expected to check this at least weekly.

Good luck!
