COURSE INTRODUCTION COURSE CONTENT COURSE EVALUATION COURSE VEDIO |
This coursemainly explains advanced knowledge and skills of 3D modeling, materials andanimation, requires students to have basic operation skills and application abilityof 3D software. The prerequisite course "Computer Graphics Creation"mainly explains basic knowledge of 3D software, laying a foundation for thiscourse.
This course isan inspection course, which focuses on cultivating students' comprehensive masteryand application of various common animation setting commands of 3d software, bymeans of the case analysis and simple modeling examples, students can recallthe original relevant knowledge as soon as possible and broaden the modelingmethods and ideas of different models.Through case studies, enable students tomaster complex controllers drawing skills, master the Connection Editor, SetDriven Key, Expression, and so on a variety of ways to create animation,interpretation methods of use of deformation device at the same time, the Keyto master Blend Shape fusion deformer create character Expression animationmethod; Strengthen students' proficiency in the course knowledge throughon-site demonstration and individual tutoring. Students are encouraged to makeuse of what they have learned to create.
Course Objective:
Educational Approach:
Teaching Material：
Biblography:
Through learning of this course, further mastering the advanced technology of 3d animation, strengthen the knowledge of rigging controller and deformer, familiar with common animation settings such as the camera animation, deformer animation, further understanding of the texture, light setting, render setting and compositing.
Teaching students to have the ability to do creative design and animation practice independently, and understand the development frontier and industry demand of 3D animation and related fields.
To cultivate students' logical thinking, patience and sense of responsibility, to understand the importance of teamwork, and to improve students' research ability and practical working ability.
This course adopts the flipped classroom teaching mode and makes full use of online and offline mixed teaching. Professor will provide students with sufficient online learning resources before class and let them learn basic knowledge by themselves. Guide and encourage students to develop their ideas, master techniques through creative practice, so as to cultivate students' ability to create, analyze and solve problems. The exercise and homework of this course need to be completed by computer. Students are required to be familiar with relevant computer software operation and complete the design and production of works.
