| Formelle forudsætninger: | The student should have a good knowledge of computers. A basic knowledge of Adobe Photoshop and After Effects is preferable but not a must. Prior experiences with a 3D-animation software is a plus, but is not necessary, and the student can enter the class with no prior experience within the field of 3D-animation. |
| Læringsmål: | After the course students should be able to:
-Identify diverse approaches to 3D-animation
-Evaluate visual storytelling in 3D-animation
-Assess critically 3D-animation in relation to theory and history
-Apply fundamental processes in visual storytelling for 3D-animation
-Create a 3D-animation project
-Control 3D CGI production pipeline |
| Fagligt indhold: | The class is a foundation class to acquire, to experience, to analyze, to apply and to evaluate the fundamentals of 3D-animation. The class is a critical study of the 3D-animation media and the focus of the class will be about diverse approaches of making 3D-animation for films, games and visualizations. The class emphasizes a practical approach on how to make 3D-animations, but also includes a theoretical and historic perspective to the subject.
The student make their own unique 3D-animation project including the four basic elements of 3D-animation (modeling, texturing, animation & rendering). They present their own project to the whole class and write and analyze there methods making it in a 10 page rapport where they relate their production to a product and places it in a historical context.
Students are strongly recommended to attend classes. Presenting a 3D-animationproject is mandatory and is an individual assignment. The student is also expected to study and practice tutorials in the 3D-animation software of there own preference outside class hours, with fellow students and by them self (in class Maya and Mudbox is used by the teatcher). |
