This unit will provide students with the theoretical and practical skills associated with the creation of advanced real-time 3D production methods and technology. Participants will gain knowledge in advanced uses for real-time engines while developing key production skills required such as, the construction of 3D assets, lighting, animation, texturing and environmental effects for use in advanced real-time productions.
This unit aims to expose students to the theoretical and practical knowledge required to create advanced 3D real-time productions. Participants will gain insight into contemporary production methodology and techniques that are required by artists to create appealing environments.
1. Apply appropriate production methodologies in the construction and assembly of real time 3D projects;
2. Prepare 3D assets, animation and environment effects for use in real time projects;
3. Create advanced texturing, lighting and virtual camera solutions for real time environments;
4. Construct a project that demonstrates appropriate application of advanced real time environment creation techniques; and
5. Implement and describe an effective real time production pipeline.
1. UC graduates are professional - display initiative and drive, and use their organisation skills to plan and manage their workload
1. UC graduates are professional - take pride in their professional and personal integrity
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 - work collaboratively as part of a team, negotiate, and resolve conflict
