| Arts Col 751: Form Visualization |
This course is an overview of general methods of 3d modeling for animation and their specific application in Autodesk Maya. The class discussion is grounded on form visualization principles practiced in the fields of design, drawing and sculpture. The course covers basic approaches to model surfacing, lighting and presentation.
