About the Course

The course provides knowledge of content creation and skills with tools and techniques that focus on efficient workflows for static meshes. Candidates are also provided skills to iterate content quickly into a presentable state, allowing for feedback and changes at an early state in a production. The course provides knowledge of and skills with digital kitbashing and insight into photogrammetry concepts, in addition to the principles and design theories of shape language  
like visual detail and visual rest. The course builds on competence from 3D and Art Fundamentals.  

Course Relevance  
The course aims to teach iterative workflows and both rapid and high-quality static mesh content creation. Candidates learn to work fast and efficiently in an ever-increasing industry where rapid high-quality work is in demand. During the course, candidates learn to analyse 3D assets and based on a specification, assess the production pipeline. Drafting 3D content is essential for conceptualisation and the design process. Getting the work quickly to the stakeholders allows for changes to be implemented sooner rather than later. 

Course Learning Outcomes

Teaching and Learning

In this course, the following teaching and learning methods can be applied, but are not limited to:

  • Lecture: Educator-led presentations or activities providing knowledge, skills, or general competencies in the subject area.
  • Group work: Collaborative activities where students work together to solve problems or complete tasks.
  • Tutoring: One-on-one or small group sessions with an instructor for personalized guidance and support.
  • Student presentations: Opportunities for students to demonstrate their understanding of course material by presenting to peers.
  • Online lessons: Digital content delivered via an online learning platform.
  • Guidance: Individualized advice and direction from instructors to support students in their learning journey.
  • Workshops: Practical sessions focused on hands-on application of theoretical concepts or skills.
  • Self-study: Independent study where students engage with course material on their own without any teacher support.
Reading list

Teaching materials, reading lists, and essential resources will be shared in the learning platform and software user manuals where applicable.
