Description:
This is a course that introduces the student to 3D
computer animation. Autodesk's Maya
software is emphasized. The course
focuses on the building and rigging of skeletons for organic and inorganic
objects as well as animation of biped, quadruped, and object motion, and
soft-body and rigid-body object motion to visually communicate specific actions
and/or emotions. Traditional animation
concepts and 3D computerized animation techniques will be theoretically
explored and practically applied.
