a  3D modelling technique used to create free-flowing shapes usually found in nature

a way of modifying elements such as vertices while having an effect on other nearby elements

to split an object into smaller sections by adding more vertices, edges and faces

In this unit pupils will discover how to create 3D animations using industry-standard software.  They will gain a greater understanding of how 3D animation is used to make the media products that we consume. They will explore the basics of modelling, texturing, animating to create 3D models.
