Course No. ANIM 454T  Credits: 3.0
Faculty Jason Tilk

This course focuses on 3D Modeling for
Concept Vehicles 1 (Automobiles, Sci-Fi,
Fantasy & Tactical). For students focused on
transportation, animation or game design,
3D modeling is essential in developing and
translating ideas into data that can be used
for industry applications.

Course content will provide a foundation in
3D modeling using rapid polygonal and
hard modeling techniques. An emphasis
will be placed on documentation of basic
surfaces, designing around a package and/
or free-form exploration in order to support
Industrial Design (Transportation Track),
Animation or Game Design content
development for the auto and entertainment
industries. Studio lab time will include
lectures, demos, in-class exercises, project
support and one-on-one instruction. Intro to
3D Modeling (Game/Animation) is required.
Prior 3D modeling experience is helpful.
Required of senior Industrial Design majors
(Transportation Track), recommended for
Animation and Game Design majors and
open to any students. Offered fall.
