VCT 2143 - Modeling 2

Credits: 3
Hours/Week: Lecture 3 Lab None
Course Description: In this class, students focus on modeling characters utilizing digital sculpting techniques. This class will further develop a student¿s modeling toolkit by focusing on areas such as: characters sculpting, creatures, realistic skin, hair, and clothing. Discussion of developing low-poly cage meshes from high-resolution meshes and then transferring details from the high-polygon mesh to the normal maps of the low-poly mesh will also be covered.
