You’ve seen them - “Toy Story 3”, “Up”, “Wall-E”. 3D is all the rage and here is your chance to learn all about how 3D design and animation works. While the projects you will be working on will be quite modest compared to what Pixar is doing, you will gain a much better appreciation for what goes into their creation. You will gain a basic understanding of the skills and techniques employed by 3D designers in a wide range of applications. You will explore basic mesh modeling, applying textures and materials to 3D objects, lighting, animation and rendering. The course isn’t all work. We will also examine 3D gaming and create several 3D games. This course should provide a good basis for further independent study in architectural, engineering, and theatrical modeling and game design.
