Master Syllabus CS2593, 3D Modeling II

Credits 3 Lab Hours 0 Lecture Hours 3 Clinical Hours 0
This course is designed to further enhance the skills of students who have successfully completed the 3D Modeling I course. Students will be able to create more dynamic 3D projects by incorporating more advanced modeling and animation skills, revolving and rotating surfaces, and learning how to use controlled mesh and advanced rendering techniques such as environment maps and depth of field. There will be a variety of projects to refine these skills. For each unit of credit, a minimum of three hours per week with one of the hours for class and two hours for studying/preparation outside of class is expected.
