3D INDUSTRY OVERVIEW (3DIO)3D Industry Review will explore the world of 2D and 3D animation by screening different genres, styles, formats, and clients of animation. The course will review the different positions and multiple paths that the animation industry travels and look at the good, the bad, and the ugly in demo reels, compare the different graphics styles in the game industry, conquer the complex visual effect shots in film and commercials, and view animated shorts. Students will explore the 3D visualization outside of the game and film world and look into the increasingly growing world of motion graphics.3D ANIMATION 4, 5 (3DA 4, 5)3DA 4 teaches students to apply the principles taught in classical animation and apply them to their 3D work. Projects will review and reinforce lessons learned in previous animation classes while introducing tools in 3D Animation software and workflow. Students will be required to produce planning drawings and rough timing before starting animation and final renders of assignments. This will be a requirement for all project submissions.3D ANIMATION 6 (3DA 6)The exercises and lectures in 3DA 6 build upon those in the 3DA 4 and 5 and help students create animations that will appear on their final demo reels. After completing 3DA 6, students will have a body of work to demonstrate their 3D Animation skills to potential employers.3D ANIMATION 7 (3DA 7)The exercises and lectures in 3DA 7 focus on creating and refining the 3D animation that will appear on student graduate demo reels and will present the best the student has to offer to potential employers. After completing 3DA 7, students will have a body of work to demonstrate their 3D animation skills to potential employers. The major emphasis will be on generating three Acting and lip-synch animations to be considered your best work for your animation reel.3D ANIMATION 8 (3DA 8)3DA 8 is devoted to the creation of your demo reel. You will have the time to improve upon your final animation projects from 3DA 7. You will also have the time to do animation tests from industry studios to get faster at not only animating in 3D but also get faster at animating in a pipeline environment and be able to make revisions to your work. 3DA 8 brings together everything you have learned throughout your time in the 3D course and allows you to use it to your Professional Animation Portfolio.
