Course Description

This course will introduce the students to the interface used in virtual 3D applications and the development of virtual scenes and content.

Goals and Objectives

The goals of this course are as follows:

• Provide an understanding of the tools/programs and processes involved in creating 3D Art

• Aid in developing an understanding of the 3D production pipeline

Students who complete this course will be able to:

• Students who complete this course will be able to maneuver within a virtual 3D environment, as evidenced by their ability to develop assignments.

• Students who complete this course will be able to create virtual 3d objects, as evidenced by class and homework assignments.

• Students who complete this course will be able to generate appropriate virtual content for project focus, as evidenced by the student’s work conforming to project parameters.

• Students who complete this course will be able to understand the needs of secondary media conjecture on the appropriateness of digital content, as evidenced by class/homework projects and assessment of student work during critique.

Materials Needed
