| Course Objectives: | This course provides the student with advanced character animation skills in order that they are able to design, develop and realise a short animated sequence which accurately reflects convincing character motion. |
|
The students who have succeeded in this course; " The students who have succeeded in this course will be able to;" 1) Employ of animation principles 2) Understand the use of timing and exposure range in animation 3) Grasp the aesthetic perceptions of the correct use of exposure in animation 4) Strengthen storytelling with proper stage performance of characters 5) Give value and importance to character by choosing appropriate movements of characters 6) Understand the contribution of animation to the player experience in game design 7) Apply the animations can be transferred to game engines correctly |
| Students will study rigging and skinning deformable characters and defining accurate weight maps. Animation hierarchies. The fundamental principles of animation including Squash and Stretch, Anticipation, Staging, Timing, Exaggeration, Secondary Action and Appeal. Students will also examine non dynamic simulations animation techniques and the application of laws of physics and dynamics. |
