Blender in education: Interactive 3D animation

Zadatak ovog završnog rada bio je pokazati način povezivanja interaktivnih, zabavnih sadržaja obrazovnim sadržajima. Projekt je napravljen s Blenderom, koji je alat za 3D modeliranje, ali i alat izrade takvog sadržaja. Detaljan proces izgradnje ovog projekta opisan je u ovom završnom radu, od izrade svih 3D modela, njihove strukture i izgleda, preko izrade popratnih animacija, pa sve do procesa izrade same igre. Krajnji rezultat ovog projekta je interaktivna igra, odnosno animacija dobro poznate bajke za djecu, Crvenkapica, gdje se u 8 poglavlja (scena) igrača vodi kroz različite zadatke. Zadaci su povezani s poglavljem, ali postoje i opći zadaci koji se odnose na osnovnoškolsko gradivo, ponajprije prvog i drugog razreda. Ovaj je projekt samo mali dio svih mogućnosti primjene interaktivnih sadržaja u obrazovanju, koji nije ograničen samo na škole i sveučilišta, već se može primijeniti na razna područja ljudskog života.
The purpose of this final paper was to show a way to connect interactive, entertaining content with educational content. Project was built with Blender, which is a 3D modelling tool, that can also be used as a tool to create such content. Detailed process of building this project was described in this final paper, from building 3D models, their structure and appearance, through animation of said objects and finally, to the process of creating the game itself. The end result is an interactive depiction of well-known children's tale called The Little Red Riding Hood, where, in 8 chapters, the player is guided through various questions and quests. Quests are either tasks related to the chapter, but there are also general assignments related to curriculums, mostly depicting curriculums of first and second grade. This project is just a small part in all the possibilities in applying interactive content in education, which is not limited to only schools and universities, but can also be applied to various fields of interests.
