3D Animation

N/A

6.1 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.

6.2 The assessment in the curricular unit will take place, at the option of the student, in one of the following ways:
– Continuous evaluation;
– Evaluation by exam.
The evaluation in those modalities will obey criteria that will be explained in the statements and/or other elements presented, according to the following components and weights:
CONTINUOUS EV.
– In-person participation – 10% weight in the global assessment;
– Individual work – 90% weight in the global assessment.
EV. BY EXAM
– Theoretical component – 30% weight in the overall assessment of the exam;
– Practical component – 70% weight in the exam’s global assessment.

3.1 Understand the concepts and terminology of the composition and 3D animation; – Integrate knowledge about visual, experimental, diachronic, and anachronistic narratives;
3.2 Understand the sociocultural and historical context in which this visual area is developed, integrating the basic principles of animation discourse;
3.3 Know how to operate and manipulate digital technology equipment of 3D modelling and animation;
3.4 Ability to apply lightning and textures into environments, in a realistic or creative way;
3.5 Ability to animate solids and figures, as well as cameras, with technical and aesthetic skills.
