Introduction to this topic.
Welcome to Sets & Staging!
In this topic we explore how virtual sets are constructed using geometric transformations.
This topic contains two lessons:
- Appropriate for grades 7+
- Build a scene from Toy Story based on a sketch from the Art department
- Appropriate for the high school level
- Derive the rotation formulas used at Pixar using basic trigonometry
Have fun!

- Not in this session. This is just to show you how Pixar does it.
But there are several sites that help with animating things. Stop Motion is the best way to start, in my opinion.(2 votes)
