An introduction to 3D modeling using Autodesk’s Maya and Adobe After Effect software is an adaptable class structure on the following foundational elements:
group discussion / critique formats
contemporary 3D animation history / theory
3D modeling and animation techniques in Maya by Autodesk
Compositing / motion graphics techniques in Adobe After Effects
collaboration / team-based projects
independent research & concept development
final independent research projects
An introduction to the artistic and technical field of computer-based 3D animation techniques, including related theory, production, and business. Advanced 2-D and 3-D animation, compositing, rendering, and character-design skills are developed in conjunction with traditional and digital story development, animation techniques, 3D lighting and camera methods. Students in this course also extend the technical skills acquired in previous courses by applying them to a creative application of their own individual or collaborative design.
3D Animation – Special Hiroshige project with the Cameron Museum: In the Fall of 2018, our 3D Animation course had the opportunity to work with the Cameron Museum in Wilmington, NC to help animate imagery from their special collections show, “Along the Eastern Sea Road: Hiroshige’s Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido,” Student teams brought high resolution scans of the original prints into 2D and 3D design software and composited them into three HD vertical panels that brought the prints alive with motion and sound.
