I have been using Carrara 3D Basics 2 in a 3D Animation module in my
Middle School class on Advanced Technology. The class is designed to
introduce the student to 16 different engineering technologies,
giving them about two to three weeks on each one. For my 3D
Animation module, the kids find the eight Quicktour lessons too
difficult (and I agree with them). If it had not been for Carl
Desmond, who runs 3DXtract, I would have had to abandon the module
altogther. With his excellent tutorials, the students are able to
create models.
The models do look good but they have been of limited success. The
models are not very exciting nor animated. I need something that 7th
Grade students can do to learn about the exciting world of 3D
Animation without getting turned off by the complexity. I think what
I need is a working animated model that the kids can modify. This
way they would not face the daunting learning curve before ever
seeing results. Also, this is an age of instant gratification and
they need to see results quickly.
Should I be using a different software package. Should I not try to
introduce this complex technology to 7th Graders?
I am looking for suggestions, help, assistance, or any comments you
can make.
