Learning Outcome
Upon completing the course, the student will have achieved the following learning outcomes:
The student
- has knowledge of hard surface modeling in 3D
- has knowledge of optimized modeling in 3D
- has knowledge of low poly- and high poly modeling
- has knowledge of subdivision surfaces
- has knowledge of sculpting in 3D
- has knowledge of the use of material shaders and textures
- has knowledge of baking texture maps
- has knowledge of 3D rendering and render engine settings
- has knowledge of general character rigging
- has knowledge of hierarchies, constraints, and node structures
The student
- can create realistic hard surface models
- can create 3D models with optimized topology and textures
- can use material shaders and textures to create believable surfaces on 3D models
- can rig a 3D character using standard bones and skinning with correct wighting
- can retopologize 3D models
- can rig a 3D character with Inverse Kinematics
The student
- can find and apply relevant material for 3D character rigging
- understands relevant challenges and can participate professionally in discussions about good modeling techniques
- can think innovatively and communicate new knowledge and ideas
The course is organized as a combination of lectures, practical exercises, regular submission of weekly assignments, self-study and supervision.
- 3-5 individual or group assignments
Compulsory requirements that have been passed are valid for only 12 months. Students who wish to take exams after 12 months must pass the compulsory work requirements again in the next regular implementation of the course.
- Individual portfolio assessment: 2 individual folder assignments, each counting for 50% of the final grade. Folder 2 must be completed for the Game School Expo.
