VCT 2084 - Advanced Modeling for 3D Animation

Credits: 3
Hours/Week: Lecture NoneLab None
Course Description: In this advanced 3D modeling course, students will use complex subdivision surface modeling techniques to create highly developed 3D character and environment models for animation. Human anatomy for artists, as it applies to 3D modeling, will be covered to develop an understanding of character form. Using industry-standard Autodesk applications such as 3ds Max and Mudbox, projects will involve conceptualizing, designing, and modeling a character and its environment.
