2.00 Credits
In this course, students study the fundamentals of modeling with industry-standard 3D software for film, broadcast, and video games. Through the use of tools and actions, students generate texture, light, and render polygons, NURBs, and/or subdivision surfaces. Through tutorials, in-class demonstrations, and homework assignments, students explore the creation of environmental space and the objects that inhabit it. At the end of the course, students should feel comfortable working not only in three-dimensional Cartesian space, but thinking in it as well. Open to non-majors with permission. Prerequisite: DE 178

2.00 Credits
In this course, students explore the fourth dimension of computer graphics: time. Using industry-standard 3D software for film, broadcast, and video games, students learn to rig and animate characters and props using both skeletal and non-skeletal deformers. Through tutorials, in-class demonstrations, and homework assignments, students explore topics including movement, timing, and acting so as to learn how to bring objects to life. At the end of this course, students should have a basic understanding of animation, as well as a greater feel for timing. Open to non-majors with permission. Prerequisite: DE 278

Focused on small-scale buildings with varying degrees of contextual complexity, this studio emphasizes the understanding of design as an analytical process that extends from programmatic analysis to formal development of design ideas, to their translation into functional environments that house specific cultural rituals and belief systems. Assignments emphasize the understanding and expressive use of materials and structure in conjunction with environmental and aesthetic considerations. Open to nonmajors with permission. Prerequisite: DE 206
