3D Modeling for Concept Vehicles 2

Course No. ANIM 455T  Credits: 3.0

This course is a continuation of 3D Modeling for Concept Vehicles 1 and is focused on vehicle modeling such as Automobiles, Sci-Fi, Fantasy and 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. This course will provide further instruction 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. Prior 3D modeling experience is required, specifically courses like Intro to 3D Modeling (Game/Animation). Required of senior Industrial Design majors (Transportation Track), recommended for Animation and Game Design majors and open to any students. 3 credits.
