MODELING AND TEXTURING LAB
Focus on basic character modeling, to help students learn the critical elements of digital figure modeling that distinguish levels of refinement and quality in character models.
Course Outcomes (COs):
Course Outcome (at course level) | Learning and teaching strategies | Assessment Strategies |
Students will be able to: CO5. Develop skills to create basic character and digital figure models. CO6. Comprehend and apply the concepts of modeling to build models. CO7. Integrate quality, material, lights, camera, maps and levels of refinement in character modeling. CO8. Design and develop character and digital figure models using inverse kinematics, dynamics and effects. | Approach in teaching: Interactive Lectures, Discussion, Reading assignments, Demonstrations, Group activities, Teaching using advanced IT audio-video tools.
