After successful completion of the course, students are able to creat complex 3D animations in 3D Studio Max. They will extensivly f keyframe animation and know how to deal with animation curves. With this techniques they can animate object movement and behaviour, material parameters, light properties, handle particle systems, adjust animation constraints and camea movements.

The students focus on the foundations for 3D graphics an animation, complex modelling techniques for producing dynamic architectural visualizations, creating lighting effects, storyboarding and stage development, complex materials and mapping, creating and animating objects for real-time display, digital editing of animation sequences, composing with multiple cameras and adding titles and special effects. These technologies provide an ongoing stream of innovation and allow the students to approach an ever-increasing range of creative possibilities and enable them to communicate with their audience more effectively, giving them the competitive edge.

Lectures, demonstration, hands on software training, project work on homework assignments.

Software used in course: 3D Studio Max, AdobePremiere

This is Part 2 of the class starting in the Fall semester (272.051).

If you attended "Advanced Concepts in CAAD" or "3D Visualisation" in one of the previous semesters you are allowed to sign up.

Attending the first class is mandatory. Students that fail to come to the first class will be removed from the list.

Students are evaluated based on active class attendence and a series of homework assignments.
