This course introduces the student to the techniques of 3-Dimensional computer animation. The specifics of 3-D animation: modeling, texturing, keyframing, lighting, hierarchies, rendering and procedural animation are taught in the context of traditional animation principles. Students will complete four projects - three of which illustrate specific aspects of 3-D computer animation and the last of which is student-directed. Along with weekly lecture and classroom work, students complete at least 10 hours of lab work. Students are expected to be familiar with the Macintosh operating system and have a thorough understanding of motion picture and photography fundamentals as they relate to the computer. The course will provide students with access to contemporary 3D animation software - Cinema4D. In addition to tuition, a $70 course fee is charged.
