Subject: 3D MODELING AND ANIMATION

Status: compulsory

ECTS credits: 6

Course objective

Familiarizing students with the basic principles of creating virtual 3D models and the acquisition of applicable knowledge.

Course outcome

The students will master the characteristics of different animation stages. They will gain knowledge of the following: pre-production, production and post-production characteristics, previsualization, the role of the storyboard, procedural texture, timing and spacing as the basics of animation, the role of the script in animation, the importance of curves, NURBS animation in the Maya tool.

They will learn about particle dynamics and instantiating, playblast, dynamic excitation, dynamic cloth simulation (nCloth), paint effects and blend shape deformers.
