Things I need to learn

Hello, here is a rough list of the things I would like to learn about to be able to create and print 3D visualizations.

• Modelling using modifiers - learning about all of the modifiers and the best instances to use them in. I will be exploring different tutorials on this subject.
  
• Learning to use a 3D printer - I will be using a printer here at TAFE and learning about the programs and materials available.
  
• Discovering the limitations of 3D printing - By doing various tests using the printer I can work out the best ways to achieve successful models and what design elements to avoid.
  
• Improving general modelling skill - By doing tutorials involving modifiers and building on ideas that I have devised I hope to become more proficient in making models in virtual space.
  
• Texturing in blender - I would like to learn how to quickly and effectively texture models so I can present items in a more attractive light. This is more of a secondary skill as I want to focus on the shapes and designs of the product.
  
• Prototyping - This a combination of being able to create unique items virtually and then building them using printers. This is a skill that requires technical and creative skills and links in with my conceptual development.
