3D BOOTCAMP

      August – September 2011

Design And Dream Arts (DADA) Academy, presents a 4 Day 3D Bootcamp scheduled for four weekends between August and September 2011.
Course content: The workshop course content will cover introduction to the creation and manipulation of 3D models with the Bonzai 3D interface, including understanding of texturing, and the principles of lighting, rendering, and project workflow.
This intensive training is ideal for beginners, proficient 3D artists who would like to switch to the Bonzai 3D interface, as foundation training for those interested in architectural visualizations, character modelling and animation and as foundation training for more advanced 3D training, especially with Form Z- an industry standard 3d modelling and animation programme from the same manufacturers as Bonzai 3D. Reference will be made to other 3D software like Maya, 3D Studio Max and Revit, however, Bonzai 3D, a lighter and exciting 3D programme with a shorter learning curve from Auto-des-sys will be the training platform in focus.
Participants will be provided with lecture notes, training software, training videos, and internet resources. Lunch will also be provided on the four days.
Facilitator: The training will be led by Nnamdi Akubuiro, a director of Mind’s Eye Ltd, Nnamdi Akubuiro studied architecture at the University of Lagos and founded Mind’s Eye – an architectural visualization company - in 1998 with a couple of colleagues. Since then, the company has grown to be an industry leader in Nigeria in the field of architectural visualizations. He has over 12 years experience in the field and is proficient in the use of Sketch-up, Autocad, Bonzai 3D, Revit, 3D Studio Max, Mental Ray and V- Ray. He has worked on projects for top architectural firms and advertising agencies in Nigeria.
