Welcome to MMST 124 & 125, Fall 2011
Welcome to MMST 124 (& 125), 3D Fundamentals (& Intermediate)-- Modeling, Texturing, and Animation. This is a lot to swallow in 16 weeks. The syllabi for MMST 124 and MMST 125 are posted on your class page on MyCOM and on my site, at Ogle.com. 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.
Autodesk has extensive resources and material on The Area, including written and video tutorials, support discussions, etc., which everyone is expected to join and look to for additional techniques and industry information. Equally, Autodesk offers 3DS Max 2012 and about 30 other products free for students through its Education Community site -- you are expected to register, download and install 3DS Max 2012 to use during the semester. Also follow the Autodesk Media & Entertainment portal on Facebook or the Autodesk Channel on YouTube.
We will use this blog in connection with the College's MyCOM portal. These will be our links to each other between classes -- MyCOM is a place to post work in progress, links, questions, news items, events, etc. It's also a good way to email me and members of the class.
All of you are expected to check this at least weekly. Good luck!
