About the Course

The course provides knowledge of topology and surface properties and the skills to create 3D models with textures. Candidates are provided knowledge and skills in polygon modeling, optimalisation, UV layout and 3D texture painting with a focus on staying accurate to reference material. The course also provides knowledge of storytelling with textures.

The aim of the course is to provide fundamental competence in 3D modelling and texturing. Modeling is the most fundamental part of a 3D pipeline with texturing as the natural next step in the creation of an asset. By 3D modelling and texturing from reference candidates can create 3D assets for a wide range of industry purposes.
