Module outline          

This module investigates recent and emerging 3D computer modelling, animation visualisation and rendering techniques.

It aims to develop techniques to produce a portfolio of unique 3D content to a professional standard.

Key topics covered will include:

• Application within media industry - review products for techniques
• Technique analysis - determine the best strategy for given objects, materials and lighting condition i.e.
• Texture and materials i.e. wood, concrete, cloth
• Lighting and camera techniques applied to various environments
• Script/story board the sequence
• Technique analysis - determine the best strategy for given objects, motion types, materials and lighting conditions i.e.
• Keyframe animation & editing
• Animation lighting and cameras
• Motion paths and motion capture
