As part of my Media & Design course, I worked on assignments for the subject of 3D animation. This was an exciting and educational experience where I primarily learned to use the software ‘Blender’. A significant focus was understanding how light sources impact a scene or picture, which was fascinating to experiment with. Playing around with different lighting setups allowed me to see how small changes could dramatically alter the mood and realism of a render.

However, the process was also quite challenging. 3D animation involves many intricate steps, and attention to detail is crucial at every stage. To build my skills, I followed along with my teacher’s demonstrations, then replicated the steps independently. This hands-on approach helped me develop a deeper understanding of the techniques and workflows involved in creating a polished 3D project.
