Course Credit:  3.0

This 15-week course introduces students to the powerful combination of Blender’s Grease Pencil and Substance Painter, focusing on the integration of 2D and 3D elements in digital illustration, animation, and texturing.
Students will begin with Blender’s Grease Pencil, learning how to create 2D illustrations, 2.5D environments, and animation inside Blender’s 3D workspace.
Midway, the course shifts to 3D modeling, introducing both hard surface and organic sculpting techniques before diving into Substance Painter for professional texturing workflows.
The final weeks focus on assembling a hybrid 2D/3D scene, applying advanced shading techniques, rendering, and compositing.
By the end of the course, students will have explored and developed skills for illustration, animation, 3D modeling, texturing, and rendering to express their personal stories and projects.
