3.00 Credits
This course addresses the fundamental principles of designing and constructing the 3-dimensional modeled world for film and video. Students progress from an overview of the 3-D animation process to defining and implementing filmic ideas using their own modeled creations. Sketches are imported into modeling software (Maya), which is used to build and animate characters, create environments, and produce effects. Three-dimensional animation is created in its own virtual space and is navigated by cameras much like a traditional film studio or sound stage. Therefore, cinematic shot design and camera navigation within the virtual world are examined in depth. An animated 3-D short is produced to convey a simple story in a model environment.
