Summary

What you’ll be able to do

  • Transform 2D sketches, technical drawings into 3D shapes with multiple choices including digital modeling tools, sculpting tools and 2.5D postproduction tools including transfer files among the applications.

  • Apply the basic surface textures to the 3D objects with graphic and dimensional qualities.

  • Enrich the digitally designed environment with lights and atmosphere such as basic illumination, theatrical lighting effects, environmental fog and particles.

  • Demonstrate the basic digital rendering technique and the use of different render engines, virtual camera, camera animation, render output selection and settings.

  • Demonstrate the basic special effects and simulations such as fractures, cloth, water surface with collision, physics and basic particles.

  • Discuss the basic concept and demonstrate the use of the digital game engine for design visualization.

  • Search, compare and select the most suitable and efficient applications as the project centric tool and technology setting.
