3D Modelling and Animation
Module G6079
Module details for 2021/22.
15 credits
FHEQ Level 5
Module Outline
Producing high quality content is one of the stumbling blocks towards successful 3D applications. It is a skill in high demand within related industries. This module will make use of industry standard software to cover aspects related to the production pipeline of 3D content. These will include:
- 3D modelling: allowing candidates to produce their own 3D geometries, observing real life objects and characters and creating accurate and well proportioned models.
- Rigging: Creating a core structure, rig or skeleton that will allow a 3D model to be manipulated effectively.
- Animation: The Principles of animation will be addressed giving candidates the skills to create believable movement that shows emotion.
Module learning outcomes
Create and texture high quality 3D models
Understand and apply general principles of animation
Rig and animate 3D content, to produce complete animation sequences
Create and export animated content that shows emotion and tells a story.
