Courses

An advanced studio course in the theory and technique of three-dimensional (3-D) animation utilizing appropriate software. Topics include advanced animation tool sets and techniques, including the preparation and implementation of 3-D animation into interactive applications. Emphasis on advanced, industry standard character animation techniques.

Instruction in basic practices and workflows for pre production including story development, 3D asset creation, and creating layout for animation and/or pre- visualization for broadcast, film, game consoles, web and mobile devices.

Introduction to the basic elements and principles of three-dimensional design using various media.

(2 clock hour lecture and 4 clock hour lab periods per week). A foundations course utilizing the elements and principles of design to explore form as mass and volume. Through a series of assigned projects using simple materials the student will investigate the physical and conceptual attributes of three-dimensional form in space.

Introductory course that explores three-dimensional concepts in a variety of processes and media. PW: Innovation and Creativity
