The pace of the lessons are just right for extensive learning, where there is a balance between the time to absorb new knowledge from the tutor and time to explore different techniques by ourselves. Due to the flexible structure of the lessons, we have found ways of modeling complex figures which suit our needs.

The course allowed us to stretch our imagination and put our ideas down on paper first hence creating a variety of methods to gradually mold our model. This helps us understand how mechanics and engineers would work, since working in the 3d software is similar to creating the object physically.

Learning 3D animation along with friends has also allowed small opportunities to share and teach one another of each other’s techniques and secret solutions. Teaching skills are augmented from within when we solve difficulties for fellow-digital animators and we enlighten one another on how to work out certain areas of the software. Therefore, this course has allowed us to be independent, but yet, interdependent on peers, our teacher-in-charge, and also our tutor.
Most importantly, we’ve learnt not to be afraid to make mistakes (though it can get really frustrating at times when you just can’t seem to produce something like the ‘picture’ you can see in your head) and lots of courage is needed just to start sailing into the unpredictable embrace of new waters. But the satisfaction of seeing the magnificent sunset at the end of the journey and to sail towards it is rewarding.
