3d is the new “desktop publishing.” With a small investment in software and training, clients can be served with visualizations, marketing pieces and web animations that might otherwise have to be farmed out to a freelancer, like me!
There are 3d applications to fit every budget, purpose and skill level, from Google Sketchup for architectural plans, all-around programs like LightWave and Cinema 4d, to high-end applications used in gaming and Hollywood like Softimage, Maya and 3d Studio Max.
Every studio should have a person on staff who can service their customers with some type of 3d skill. How do you determine which software is right for your clients, your workload and your personnel’s skill levels and focus?
October 9th’s $5 Friday will help you navigate into the world of 3d, help you to figure out when to move into 3d, find out what software will suit you best, and even when to call in the big guns, like Radiance Media.
Brad Krause/Radiance Media has been creating every kind of 3d illustration and animation in the Milwaukee area for the last 5 years. He’s created TV commercials, movie monsters, 3d logo animations, product, medical, mechanical and architectural previsualizations, character animation… you name it. Prior to going freelance, he worked at a number of graphic design and advertising agencies, so he knows how 3d can fit into a variety of creative environments.
After a show-and-tell of some of his projects, Brad Krause will talk about integration of 3d into graphic, video and web design workflow, basic 3d concepts, tools and navigation, and the differences between major 3d applications.
