Advanced Blender Tools and Introduction to Virtual Reality

- Reinforce and expand the knowledge and methodologies specific to the modeling discipline shared, in general, by all 3D editing programs.

- Get to know the various Blender tools that allow us to give the animations the character we want, such as making them look more natural or, conversely, giving them a more mechanical or synchronized look.

- Learn to create materials with various components that allow us to imitate the complexity of the surfaces we find in the real physical world.

- Learn to improve the plastic values ¿¿of images created with Blender and make simple visual effects using post-production tools.

- Export 3D files to a VR platform in order to be able to view them with a device of this type, in this case the Meta Quest2
