This unit aims to provide learners with the key concepts and foundation techniques required in the creation of 3D computer graphics. Participants will gain insight into the technology and production methods used in the design and creation of 3D creative works.
1. Discover and employ techniques for navigating and creating in the context of 3D production environments;
2. Select and use appropriate technology to produce and manipulate 3D designs;
3. Apply the principles of UV coordinate mapping and asset texture production to 3D asset construction;
4. Prepare and implement 3D design solutions; and
5. Analyse and explain contemporary 3D software and how it applies to asset construction methodology.
1. UC graduates are professional - employ up-to-date and relevant knowledge and skills
1. UC graduates are professional - use creativity, critical thinking, analysis and research skills to solve theoretical and real-world problems
1. UC graduates are professional - take pride in their professional and personal integrity
