EM405 3D Environments

This course features scene creation/environment as it relates to 3D objects or characters. Scenes tell the story or present a concept to the viewer. Scenes set the mood for the viewer through use of lights, textures and shadows. Students explore the use of lighting, textures and cameras in a 3D scene. Every object in a scene needs to be created by the digital artist including lighting. Featured topics include: terminology, light theory, color theory, shadows, types, lighting types, paint effects and textures. Using an activity-based learning approach, students are required to complete a variety of projects using Maya or other industry standard 3D software program.
