3D design does not have to be complex. However, most 3D workflows are complicated and slow our computers down. Plus, it’s almost impossible to maintain artistic inspiration while searching through dropdown menus and navigating unfamiliar interfaces. But 3D is HOT right now, with incredible new tools and stunning effects hitting our feeds every day. It just doesn’t feel like a party we’ve been formally invited to.
This class is your formal invitation to the 3D Party. Not because I have some genius way of simplifying complicated systems. (It’s fun, but I still can’t deal with Blender.) In this class, we will learn a very simple 3D tool inside Adobe Illustrator, focusing on a way to customize your objects using a process called mapping.
The results will amaze you. Just because the tool we will use is simple doesn’t mean it’s basic. I will show you how to create infinite styles from our base object and make your statement in the 3D space without having to learn special software or a supercharged computer.
This class is all about experimenting and having fun. 3D design is a creative process that allows you to express your ideas and imagination. Don’t be afraid to try new things and make mistakes. You can always undo, redo, or delete your actions. The more you experiment, the more you will learn and improve your skills, so think of this class as a launching pad to greatness. Strap in!
