Credits: 3

Students will use computer modeling to explore the principles of 3-dimensional design and techniques of three-dimensional image construction utilizing industry standard software. Projects involving object, character and architectural modeling will emphasize the concepts including spatial proportion, silhouette, negative space, light/shadow and texture through the creation and editing of 3D objects. Topics include environment building, complex object creation, lighting, texture mapping and rendering. The integration of character design, lighting effects, atmospheric conditions and controlling object placement in a three-dimensional context are examined.
