Discipline: 3D Animation

Course Name	Course Number	Objectives
Demo-Reel	ANIM 148	Outcome/Objective Students will be able to identify an area of focus within the 3D animation field. Outcome/Objective Students will create a demo-reel of appropriate artwork based on the research produced in the class. Identify area of focus within animation fields based on interest, skill and strength. Apply principles of composition and animation in objective and subjective analysis of work appropriate for demo reel. Evaluate how animation and images work together in a demo reel as a strategic tool for entering animation fields. Identify and solve demo reel problems by applying animation concepts and techniques. Discuss, analyze and evaluate work with appropriate terminology for content, technique and style. Create demo-reel of appropriate art work, cover letter and resume that will assist in entering animation field or baccalaureate institution.
Intermediate 3D Animation	ANIM 146	Set up scenes for rendering. Animate ambient objects. Students will be able animate a 3D rigged character, in a walk cycle, using inverse kinematics. 96% of students passed this SLO assessments. Students will be able to refine the character's walk cycle animation using the graph editor. 96% of students passed this SLO assessments. Animate 3D rigged characters in walk cycles using inverse kinematics. Refine 3D character's walk cycle animation using the graph editor. Create key poses for animation using rigged characters. Apply motion analysis to key framed character animations. Create run cycles with character rigs. Create portfolios. Present plan of production of a short animation. Set up scenes for animation. Convey the story with thumbnail scenes.
Intermediate 3D Modeling	ANIM 132	Students will be able to light a 3D object using three-point lighting. Students will be able to create a seamless texture map to apply to a 3D surface. MO1: Demonstrate ability to create organic looking 3D objects. MO2: Demonstrate ability to design UV layout, and texture 3D objects. MO3: Demonstrate ability to design an appropriate setup, and light a 3D scene. MO4: Demonstrate ability to render a 3D scene following professional methods for maximum realism of the scene. Create and fully texture a low-polygon model for use in a game engine. Create real time materials and textures for 3D models. Unwrap UV on organic models. Set up lighting for animation scenes. Render a scene in passes. Post process rendered images.
Introduction to 3-D Modeling	ANIM 130	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. Create a complete scene from photographic reference using all acquired 3D modeling techniques. Build 3D objects with proper topology Build organic models that demonstrate proper Edge Flow Render objects with three point lighting techniques Design the UV layout of simple polygonal objects Develop scenes with over 50 individual 3D objects Students will be able to animate a bouncing ball in 3D Computer Graphics, using squash and stretch deformers, create movements to convey gravity and weight of a bouncing ball. Students will be able to refine the ball?s squash and stretch animation with the Graph Editor. 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.
Introduction to 3D Animation	ANIM 140	Use appropriate tools and techniques to produce the walk cycle of a humanoid character that can be used in games and animation media. Critique character animations based on learned skills and concepts. Create animation following the classic principles of animation consistent with animation industry standards. Create animation that conveys storytelling using harmony in poses, pauses, and motion that is timed well. Create thumbnails and sketches that effectively communicate storytelling and narration.
