DDA-350 3D Animation II

3 Credits

This course builds on the foundation established in 3D Modeling I and II, and Animation I, with a focus on intermediate to advanced character animation techniques. Students will continue to apply the classic principles of animation, this time using robust characters that facilitate facial animation and lip sync to convey a full range of expression, gesture and convincing motion. In addition to two assignments, students will complete several in-class exercises, each demonstrating their mastery of a core principle, followed by critique and discussion. Motion capture workflows will be covered to round out the students' animation repertoire.
