Overview
DESCRIPTION:
3D object manipulation. Modelling methodologies. Lighting and rendering effects. Camera manipulation. Textures creation and use. Dynamic animation. Characters creation and manipulation.RATIONALE:
The course is intended for students of the Digital Media Technologies of the IT major. It aims to provide in-depth experience of 3D modelling practices and applications. Object manipulation, lighting and rendering techniques, and specialized components, such as characters, are addressed at various levels.LEARNING OUTCOMES:
As a result of taking this course, the student should be able to:
1. Demonstrate knowledge of object manipulation
2. Analyse modelling techniques.
3. Construct 3D models with animation capabilities and use them to compose 3D scenes.METHOD OF TEACHING AND LEARNING:
In congruence with the teaching and learning strategy of the college, the following tools are used:
• Classroom lectures, class discussions.
• Laboratory sessions, involving training and practice in the creation of 3D scenes.
• Office hours: Students are encouraged to make full use of the office hours of their instructor, where they can ask questions and go over lecture material.
• Use of the Blackboard Learning platform, where instructors post lecture notes, assignment instructions, timely announcements, as well as additional resources.
