—•Course Description: Daz Studio - Sharren Graham—


$25.00

This course will teach you the Basics of using Daz Studio.  Daz Studio is a free 3D program, which you can download from daz3d.com.  You must register first but registration is free.

Daz Studio is an easy program to learn and use once we learn the tools and basic fundamentals that are there at our fingertips.  The possibilities open to you once you understand how to use it to its full potential are endless.  One of the most intriguing things I have found with all art forms is that one never stops learning, and the most beautiful and satisfying thing is that it allows expressions of ourselves.

During the next six weeks we will be creating scenes of different themes, exploring and working with various tools, including lights and cameras to create them.  In the Beginner's Course all work will be done in this program only.

Note!!! This course is graphic intensive.
