3D Animation

General digital image editing skills.

Mastery of communication and visual composition.

Mastery of the principles of graphic design.

The methodological choices conducive to the fulfillment of the program of the course will focus on two key educational components:

– Theoretical component – oral presentation oriented to the estimated contents;

– Practical component – work development under the teacher guidance.

Understand the sociocultural and historical context in which this visual area is developed, perceiving the concepts and terminology of composition and 3D animation, integrating the basic principles of its discourse.

Know how to operate and manipulate software for 3D modeling, compositing, and animation.

Ability to apply lightning and textures into environments, in a realistic or creative way.

Ability to animate three-dimensional models, as well as cameras, with technical and aesthetic dexterity.

CONTEXTUALIZATION OF 3D ANIMATION IN VISUAL CULTURE

1. Theoretical contextualization of computer-assisted audiovisual arts in contemporary;
2. Visual language building blocks and design principles applied to the discourse of temporal composition;
3. Areas of applicability of 3D Animation in the context of digital design: authoring process, process in industry, artistic productions, commercial productions.

MODELLING

1. Instructions for use of 3D modeling tools.
2. Modeling of simple and complex structures.

TEXTURES AND LIGHTING

1. Proper use of textures and materials modes.
2. Application of realistic lighting and creative lighting.

ANIMATION

1. Simple animation objects, taking into account their structural specificity.
2. Animation of cameras: simulating camera moves and sequences.
