Animate your Science
Course structure
-
Study at you own pace
A researcher's time is valuable and often limited. For this reason, we have made the course material available in video format for self-study, allowing you to learn at your own pace and schedule. -
Feedback sessions
Throughout the course, you will meet with your instructors and get personal feedback after each assignment. These feedback sessions will be held over Zoom. -
Assignments
Three assignments, each increasing in complexity, will be given during the course. These will familiarize you with the animation software and train you in the creation of journal covers and animations.
-
You did it!
At the last feedback session, you will get a chance to experience the work of your fellow students, and to present the animation that you have created for this course.
Course summary
Learning outcomes
In this course you will learn skills to present your research in three dimensions and make your research stand out:
Ever-growing animation software
The course will introduce you to the world of 3D modelling and animation in Blender in a simple, easy-to-understand manner.
Manipulate your models
You will learn to import 3D models from your research (e.g. proteins) into Blender and animate real-world data.
Bring your reseach to life
By the end of the course you will know how to animate your 3D models and bring motion to your research.
Creative freedom
We will teach you to make your artworks look like real-life or cartoons, whatever fits your style.
Let your research take shape
You will create your own 3D models and create professional-looking artworks to impress your peers.

You have fundamentally changed my understanding of the world and how I should communicate.
Alexis Dziedziech
Overall the course has been very helpful and allowed me to think more in terms of illustration/graphical communication.
Andreas Novotny
At first I thought I would have trouble with illustration but I really enjoyed it and liked how the development process were. I never ended up where I thought I would in the beginning. The results were so much better than I could have imagined in the beginning
