Cognitive Science 0318 - 3D Character Modeling for Games and Animation

In this course, students will further develop their 3D modeling skills, with a focus on character modeling for games and animation. Students are expected to have some experience related to 3D modeling prior to taking this course. The course work will include practical examples and project-based work, ideally providing useful material for student portfolios. Models will generally be high poly, and if time allows, techniques related to 3D printing will also be explored. By the end of the course, successful students will be able to model characters that can reasonably be used in games and animation.

Independent Work Prerequisite: At least two courses relevant to 3D modeling. Students are expected to spend approximately 10 hours weekly on work and preparation outside of class time.
