Transfers ToCSUDescription(No prerequisite. Advisory: MMST 161.) The first eight weeks of this course expand existing skills in environment creation for 3D scenes, emphasizing lighting, materials, atmospheres, particles systems, and special effects, and how to dress a scene for believability in 3D animation or game play. The second eight weeks expand existing skills in the character animation pipeline, including design, modeling, rigging, and animation. A working understanding of artistic principles and 3D and 2D digital graphics is highly recommended. Because this course covers the tools and techniques used to make video game artwork and assets, it complements and integrates with any of the concurrently offered game design courses (MMST 142, 152, 162 and 172). Students develop skills to create models for animation and games. (CSU)Usually HeldWed 2:10pm–4:30pm
