Course Title:  3D Animation - Animating

This class adds to the skill sets that students were exposed to in CGT 247 Introduction to 3D Animation and CGT 254 Advanced Models and Textures. In this class students will improve their understanding of the aesthetics and software technology involved in creating effective and convincing animation.

           Upon successful completion of the course, the student should be able to:

• Use a wide variety of motion controllers and be able to select an appropriate technique for different situations.
• Effectively use the many different settings within the trackview editor.
• Use inverse and forward kinematics, use hierarchal motion, and use linking and dummy objects to create effective animations.
• Demonstrate a good sense of timing.
• Effectively tell a story and/or communicate ideas using animation software.
