Introduction to 3-D Modeling ANIM 130
  • Use appropriate tools and techniques to produce polygonal objects of varying complexity (hard-surface based and organic based) that can be used in games and animation media.
  • Create UV maps and apply simple textures and materials on hard-surface objects.
  • Plan, organize, and execute large scale modeling projects that include over 200 independent objects.
  • Critique polygonal modeling projects based on learned skills and concepts.
