We will use Blender's Scripting workspace to automate 3D-Scene creation and manipulation with the help of Large Language Models. 

Topics include:

* Programming basics:  learn to read, write, understand and debug basic Python scripts

* 3D Computer Graphics: learn about the primitives of 3DCG - vertices, faces, edges, normals, and more!

* Large Language Models: learn about LLMs, AI and Machine learning; use LLMs to help with more complex tasks such as Addon Development

* Addon Development: write your first addon for an open-source project

* Open Source: learn about open-source development, hacking culture

Q: Who is this course for?

A: Interested and motivated students who want learn about the topics above and most importantly get their hands dirty...

Q: What are this course's goals?
A: Be able to use LLMs to create simple Python scripts inside and outside the Blender Scripting Environment.  Develop basic debugging skills. Understand basic concepts of 3D Computer graphics.

Assignments: There will be short assignments to be handed in and discussed in class. The use of LLMs is explicitly encouraged.

Profiency with computers, a notebook with preinstalled Blender, and a 3-button mouse are required.

Compulsory attendence.

We will use the privacy aware https://duck.ai service which offers a broad range of free to use models.
