Quickly place geometry on blueprints
Using Blender's efficient interface, accurately generate your foundation and walls based on a floorplan.
Add character to your home
Use a combination of hard surface and organic modeling techniques to create curtains and other window details.
The importance of a front door
Designing the gateway into your home sets the tone for the rest of your home. How many locks will there be and what kind of doorknob will be used? Practice a variety of methods to generate quick concepts.
Another exercise students will perform is sharing files and working as a team to build assets. Once a library of furniture and home decor elements have been generated, everyone can mix and match to create hybrid style homes!
Exchange ideas with other students and at least two instructors
Learning online doesn't have to be an isolating experience. FX Dojo online is a LIVE learning environment promoting collaboration and interaction among students. There is always an active teaching assistant in addition to the main lecturer. Most questions and comments are addressed through typing in the text messaging within Discord, however students may also speak through a microphone if they have one.
Distance learning is the new norm
Most students are already familiar with online etiquette, but what about in a professional environment? "Shelter in place" culture is evolving and FX Dojo offers the next wave in teleconferencing. Join us and other tech-artists in adapting to change. Enroll today for these innovative online workshops!
