| Course Objectives: | The course aims to equip students with the skills and knowledge required to create detailed 3D models and animations that align with professional standards. It seeks to foster a strong understanding of intermediate-level tools and techniques in modeling, texturing, rigging, and animation while encouraging students to apply design principles in their work. By the end of the course, students should be able to independently design and execute 3D projects that demonstrate technical proficiency and creative problem-solving. |
|
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1) Apply advanced 3D modeling techniques to create complex objects and environments. 2) Analyze the principles of animation and implement them to produce realistic and stylized 3D motion. 3) Develop optimized workflows for texturing, lighting, and rendering to enhance the visual quality and efficiency of 3D projects. 4) Evaluate the effectiveness of 3D models and animations in meeting aesthetic and functional objectives within a given design brief. 5) Create a polished 3D modeling and animation project that integrates industry-standard tools and demonstrates intermediate-level proficiency. |
| This course provides an intermediate exploration of 3D modeling and animation techniques, focusing on the development of creative and technical skills necessary to produce complex 3D models and animations. Students will work with industry-standard software to build a deeper understanding of modeling, texturing, rigging, animation, and rendering workflows. The course emphasizes creative problem-solving and the application of design principles in 3D environments. Teaching Methods: Lecture, Individual Study, Project, Implementation, Technology-Enhanced Learning |
