In this course students will explore and experiment with 3D modeling in game design and animation. The course begins with several exercises to build skills in 3D software and theory, culminating with a final 3D animation or game project based on individual interests. Through the exploration of complex stories embedded within games and animations, students will learn the basics of 3D modeling and game software such as Maya, Unity, and Blender. Additionally, students will be asked to think critically about art making using these tools by exploring ideas of interactivity, storytelling, simulation, and social events. Looking to artists and game designers such as David O'Reilly, Eddo Stern, and Eva Papamargariti, students research how this medium can be used in traditional and non-traditional ways. *NOTE* Previous experience with computers and digital imaging software such as Adobe Photoshop is required. Experience with 3D software/animation is not required. SAIC provides computers with the appropriate software, but students are also encouraged to bring their own laptop with software for after-studio hours and homework. This is a great course to take along with 3D Animation.
