Discipline: Certificate: Junior Game Designer - Introduction - E0439

Course Name	Course Number	Objectives
Digital Paint and Ink	ANIM 100	Demonstrate the use of digital drawing tools for both bitmap and vector software. Create drawings and paintings using custom brush libraries. Use Bezier paths to digitally ink vector graphic drawings. Synthesize painting and drawing techniques to create stylized artwork. Export digital content for use in other software programs.
Introduction to 3-D Modeling	ANIM 130	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. 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. Students will be able to refine the ball?s squash and stretch animation with the Graph Editor. Create a complete scene from photographic reference using all acquired 3D modeling techniques. Critique polygonal modeling projects based on learned skills and concepts. Plan, organize, and execute large scale modeling projects that include over 200 independent objects. Create UV maps and apply simple textures and materials on hard-surface objects. Develop scenes with over 50 individual 3D objects Design the UV layout of simple polygonal objects Render objects with three point lighting techniques Build organic models that demonstrate proper Edge Flow Build 3D objects with proper topology
Introduction to Gaming	ANIM 131	Create the layout of a game level in a computer game MO3: Demonstrate ability to conceive, design, and create game mechanics for an intended gameplay experience in a computer game. MO4: Shows evidence of understanding the need of the game developer to continually communicate with the player. MO5: Shows ability to implement a short game project, including all the aspects of the development: game design, art assets creation, sound design, coding, bug fixing, testing, and create a working build of the game. MO6: Demonstrate ability to conceive, design, create art assets, interface with a vendor site, and produce a working board game. Develop a prototype of a board game. The student is able to improve a game iteratively. Build simple game mechanics for a computer game using the game engine provided. Design art and animation for a computer game Students will be able to compare and contrast the following four game types: 1. Shoot-em-ups, 2. First person shooter, 3. Strategy games, 4. Puzzle games The students will be able to use the elements of story by presenting synopses of games utilizing simplicity, consistency, suspense, and fairness. MO1: Demonstrate ability to organize digital assets required for a short game, in a manner that is easy to decipher, and manage. MO2: Demonstrate ability to plan a short game production, and track it through its completion using a simple production planning system.
Principles of Animation	ANIM 108	Draw to present story points or ideas completely and clearly through staging. Apply critical thinking skills to problem solve visual design problems Anim 108 students will be able to successfully execute the "Principles of Animation." Outcome/Objective Students will be able to render fluid "squash and stretch" movements for a bouncing ball. Outcome/Objective Students will be able to render fluid "arc" movements for a falling leaf. Render basic animation movements for characters or objects while applying the mechanics and timing of squash and stretch, key poses, secondary actions, follow through, staging, overlapping action and weight. Create drawings that convey action in terms of movement, emotion, attitude, and expression. Apply action analysis and observations to animated drawings.
Storyboarding	ANIM 115	Outcome/ Objective Students will be able to identify the formal elements of story. Assess storyboards for quality control and continuity Render effective storyboard panels including notation. Sketch key emotions and body language. Outcome/ Objective Students will be able to create storyboards that show continuity between shots. Identify the elements of a story. Analyze a story's potential for animation. Synthesize the theme (premise) of a story.
