3D Design: Modeling for Games, Animation & Illustration (Residential)

In this introductory course, students will learn how to use the industry standard 3D software, Autodesk Maya, to create simple and complex 3D objects and environments. The course will focus on the creation and editing of 3D polygonal shapes and the basics of lighting, materials and rendering. Students will take primitive 3D shapes like spheres, cubes, and cylinders to create complex objects using the box modeling technique. This Is the foundational basis for all poly modeling and the initial step in 3D Asset creation for games and animation.
