Institution:

Kapiolani Community College

Subject:

Description:

3 hours lecture/per week Prerequisite(s): ART 7 with a grade of "C" or higher; ART 22with a grade of "C" or higher; approval of the 3D Computer Graphics III entrance portfolio review or acceptance into a NMA AS specializatioComment: ART 24may not be audited. ART 246 is a studio course in advanced 3D computer graphics concepts using Alias/Wavefront MAYA. Emphasis will also be placed on developing an aesthetic criteria for evaluation. Upon successful completion of ART 246, the student should be able to: Apply advanced level skills and knowledge of 3D modeling, shading, lighting, animation, scripting and render techniques using MAYA as a 3D tool in their projects. Create projects with advanced aesthetic sensibility in the "look of the picture" as well as advanced techniques of character and narrative development as applied to 3D computer animation. Use the vocabulary of 3D computer graphics as well as an increased understanding of the "language of art" to aid in the integration of the technological skill with an aesthetic criterion. Create storyboards, production designs and model sheets as part of the developmental process. Apply the visual elements of line, shape, value, color, texture, space, time, and motion as well as the design principles of balance, rhythm, emphasis, contrast, variation, repetition, and unity in digital projects. Complete the process from planning stage through revisions to a proposed project using design outlines. Use 3D computer graphics to generate personal visual images. Examine the relationship of 3D computer graphics in media industry. Prepare 3D computer animation for a variety of output formats. Properly use the tools for storing, searching, retrieving, and transmitting digital information. Work effectively as a team member to achieve creative decisions. Demonstrate strong group communication skills and the ability to speak clearly during critiques. Write about and defend the conceptual merits of work produced for the course.
