3D Modeling and animation

 
 

At the beginning of the 3D animation classes, the students learn to model in 3D. They use various modeling tools like the lathe, deformers, sculpting brush, point modeling tools, polygon modeling tools, and other techniques.

The students then learn simple keyframe animation, rigging, dynamics animation(rigid/soft body), mograph (particles, plain, cloner, etc.), and other tools.

 

Senior project is comprised of 2 courses. Senior Project 1 where students conceptualize, research, and develop a commercially viable project that solves a problem or fills a need. In the second semester in Senior Project 2, the students produce professional quality design and collateral materials related to that project.

Time Based Media

 

I teach all types of time based media including video, animation (2d and 3d,)
