IGAME 2130 Introduction to 3D Animation
This course introduces the techniques involved in animating digital models in 3D scenes using industry standard digital content creation tools. Students will apply the principles of animation to 3D assets to achieve appeal and clarity in a specified shot. Creativity is explored through animation principles using keyframes, non-linear deformers, motion paths, and fundamental rigging principles to achieve inorganic animation results. Finishing techniques including lighting, camera composition, and rendering are covered to provide students with tools needed to design demo reel-ready content.
