3D Modeling & Animation - 1175MA1-6IS-tomalley
This course expands students' knowledge of the fundamental concepts, principles, and practices of 3D digital modeling, rendering, and rapid prototyping (3D printing). Prerequisite: CS 1-2 Grades 10-12 Topics: 3D modeling -- advanced techniques may include rigging (bones/armature/shape keys), fluid physics (smoke, water, flame), particle physics (grass, hair, fur, rain, sparks), rigid body physics (collisions, gravity, holding things), soft body physics (cloth,squishy things), realistic textures 3D printing Animation process -- scriptwriting/ storyboarding, animatics, previsualization, keyframing, camera shots, lighting, rendering, sound, etc. Grading & assignments: Grades are based on progress toward completing our year-long project, an animated short, as well as performance on various smaller assignments. Students who attend regularly and participate fully should have no problem completing the work assigned during class, but students may want to work on projects outside of class, or need to make up for absences -- the computer lab is open to students during ELT, most Wednesdays after school, and by arrangement.
