AN3D 4260 - Advanced 3D Computer Topics

Credits: 3

Building on the skills and knowledge gained in previous classes, this advanced-level course will focus on learning specific concepts and techniques for the final stages of production and will focus heavily on the post-production phases of 3D computer animation. Advanced rendering techniques such as passes and layers will be covered as well as texture and light baking and occlusion passes. Students will focus heavily upon post-production techniques including compositing, post-production effects, and output methods.

Prerequisites: Completion of 90+ credit hours

Course Learning Outcomes:

Demonstrate production quality level of 3D art through utilization of advanced 3D art tools and techniques.
Produce a complete project from research and planning to post-production and delivery.
Incorporate design elements through a narrative approach and develop design documentation along with extensive subject matter reference to guide the production process.
Create various 3D assets using industry standard principles of modeling, texturing, UV mapping, lighting, and rendering.
