Description
CSCI1280 continues work begun in CSCI1250 with deeper exploration of the core technical and artistic aspects of 3D computer animation. In the first portion of the course, students complete a series of tutorials and animation assignments in which they learn more complex modeling, character rigging, animation, shading, and light techniques. In the second portion of the course, students independently explore one or possibly two of these areas in more depth. The products of this phase are used in the last part of the course, which is devoted to creating a portfolio-quality animated scene no longer then one minute. Students may work alone or in pairs on the final project. We read and discuss technical texts as well as works on artistic motivation and critique and view related animated films. The emphasis of class time will be on critiquing ongoing student work. Prerequisite: CSCI1250. Enrollment limited to 20. Written permission required.
