Visit Innovas’ Booth at Minerpalooza!
Please stop by our booth at Minerpalooza!
Get yourself a comic but realistic caricature of yourself made by our Lead 2D Concept artist at Innova, Adan Contreras!
No? Then come with our other talented leaders and get your face into a Starwars picture, where you can be the star! Maybe you even want to be on a $100 bill. Let us make that happen, get the digital version of your picture, or a printed version, or why not, get both!
All funds collected will go to a savings account to help us pay for a motion capture system, which will help us deliver more realistic and stunning digital 3D content and will grant UTEP students access to a professional game and animation tool previously unheard of at El Paso!
Come and help us! Join the fun!

September 3, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12, 2009
Whole week!
5:00 - 6:00pm
Innova Gameworks and Animations Fundraiser: 3D Workshop
We would like to invite all UTEP students to experience the world in 3D! That's why we prepared for you a one week workshop, where you will experience and learn in a project driven environment the process of creating from scratch your own 3D character.
WHAT?
Create your own character from scratch. Learn 3D modeling tools to fully model, texture, rig and animate your character. Add amazing particle effects or simulations, and create a 15 second animation using professional tools.
WHEN?
Friday, Sept 03: Introduction, Software Installation.
Tuesday, Sept 08: Basic 3D Modeling Workshop.
Wednesday, Sept 09: Basic Texturing Workshop.
Thursday, Sept 10: Basic Animation Workshop.
Friday, Sept 11: Rendering and Special Effects Workshop.
All days from 5pm - 6pm
Please note:
This workshop will cover a lot of topics, and as such, it will take time to master the basic skill set that we are going to teach you. The entire workshop will last for one entire week, however, only the first day is mandatory, to install you the software and teach you the basics of the programs we are going to be using. After the first day, you might choose to only attend certain days with topics of your interest (e.g. You might want to model and animate but not texture, in that case you can attend the modeling and animation parts of the training, files will be provided for those cases so you don’t miss a thing).
WHERE?
TBA
HOW?
This is a project driven workshop that builds upon itself.
You will be provided with all the software necessary, as well as with the texture files and sample files.
You will start with basic shapes that will evolve during the week into an amazing 3D character. All the software used is legal, and you will be able to keep it installed in your computer if you wish after the workshop.
IMPORTANT INFO and FAQ's
* This is our way of doing a fundraiser and serving the UTEP student community at the same time.
* As such, we will ask you for a non refundable fee of $5.00 per day you sign up to attend the workshop or a $15.00 if you register for the whole week.
* Registration for this workshop will be done only on Sept. 4th on site at 5:00pm, as you need to attend the first session to be able to participate the other days. This will be on a first come first serve basis, so please get there early, space is limited!
* Official Innova members, or members already interviewed and in the admission process will have free access to it.
* No previous experience necessary. Our topics will cover the basic knowledge needed to handle a 3D package.
* We will be using Autodesk Softimage Mod Tool 7.5 as our 3D package.
* Additional more advanced workshops might be offered in the future. To learn and unleash our true potential on these latter workshops, we might require you to have completed previously the basic workshop(s).
* Upon request, if enough students are interested in this workshop being offered again or at a different time, we might open a new one during the semester.
* The workshop will be taught by our best 3D modelers and programmers at Innova Gameworks and Animations, including Adan Contreras (Innovas' Lead 3D Modeler and Lead 2D Concept Artist) and Ivan Gris (Innovas' President).
* If you have any further questions feel free to register at our forum here, or send us an email to
innova@utep.edu and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Hope to see you there! Have a great Fall 2009!
