Course - CGT 254
Course Title: 3D Animation - Advanced Models and Textures
Credit Hours: (3- 0) 3 Cr. Hrs.
Description:
This class follows up on the skill sets that students were exposed to in CGT 247 Introduction to 3D Animation. In this class students will learn modeling, texturing, and lighting techniques at a more sophisticated level. These techniques will include polygon, patch, nurbs and subdivision surface modeling, creating custom textures, lighting, and atmospheric effects. They will also learn the techniques of intelligent model building and issues in creating projects for a variety of delivery platforms.
Prerequisite:
(A requirement that must be completed before taking this course.)
- CGT 247
Competencies:
Upon successful completion of the course, the student should be able to:
- Create 3D models using a variety of techniques, and be able to select an appropriate technique based on technical constraints.
- Create different kinds of models ranging from organic to mechanical.
- Create custom surfaces using maps generated in 2D.
- Use models, lighting and surfaces to create a variety of moods and effects.
- Improve their understanding of PhotoShop and its use in creating texture maps.
