CG 605Advanced 3D Modeling

The course builds a fundamental understanding of 3D computer modeling, texture mapping, lighting, and rendering technology for developing animation works. Class activities place emphasis on application of modeling tools including 3D Curves, Patches, Meshes, Sub- division Surfaces, Non-Uniform Rational B- Splines, and Polygonal Tools. Students acquire a solid grasp of fundamental modeling techniques while guided through completing an animation project employing principal elements of 3D modeling, texture mapping, and lighting art and design.
