Purpose:
The purpose of the course is to give the students strongertoolswhencommunicatingtheirprojectsthrough the use of computer aided 3d. The coursewillintroduce a workflow from drawings to 3d model to a final productsuch as an animation or still visualisations of a given project. The coursewilltake point of departure in the mainproject and the goal is to create a 3d model and an animation of the final design of the mainproject. The software used in thiscoursewillmainlybe 3DSMAX.

Contents

1: Workflow: From sketch to 3D
Lecturer: Simon Wind
Course format:Lecture
Thislecturewill start by giving a generel introduction to the workflowwhenusing 3d models as a communication platform throughexamples and theory. The lecturewillalsoinclude a commontutorialwhere in the students areintroduced to the practicalissueswhenworkingwith 3d.

Movie: Introduction to Landscape Matte Painting

2: 3D modellingtechniques
Lecturer: Simon Wind
Course format:Lecture
The student willbeintroduced to differentgeometricalprinciplesrelating to the 3d modellingtechnique. The discussionwill hold topics as material fitness, potentialities of the unformedgeneric system, geometricalsemiotics and the site specificnovel in form.

3: Storytelling and composition
Lecturer: Simon Wind
Course format:Lecture
Thislecturewillfocuson the aesteticalaspects of communicating a projectthrough a 3d representation. Thiswillbe done through a series of exampleswherecomposition, colour and story tellingarediscussed.

4: Camera, light, ACTION!
Lecturer: Simon Wind
Course format:Lecture
Thislecturewillfocusonworkingwith the finished 3d model. It willintroduce the use of cameraboth in relation to still images and animation and finallygive the students a thoroughintroduction the term "rendering".
