Description of module content:

The module explores fundamental modelling techniques, by replicating a simplified modelling pipeline (the in-studio process of developing ideas and characters, through multiple teams/departments); consisting of three phases; (1) Modelling / (2) Texturing / (3) Lighting & rendering, for a single scene. The module will also discuss the adoption 3D modelling in different sectors, its impact on society and future / emerging issues. The content will be shaped by local industry recommendations, current technological developments and research within the school.

Learning Outcomes for module:

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Choose, assess and apply knowledge of appropriate 3D modelling techniques for the development of static 3D scenes.

LO2: Critically reflect on the main types of CG materials and implement them effectively.

LO3: Create and apply textures to a 3D model using a range of techniques.

LO4: Light and render scenes creatively using a range of techniques.
