3D Animation
3D Animation
Duration: 6 Months
The 3D Animation course is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the techniques and skills needed to create realistic and engaging animations. Through a combination of theoretical lectures and hands-on practical sessions, students will learn how to use industry-standard software to model, texture, rig, and animate 3D characters and objects. They will also explore the principles of animation, including timing, spacing, and anticipation, to bring their creations to life. The course will cover various animation styles, such as character animation, visual effects, and motion graphics, allowing students to develop a diverse range of skills and express their creativity. By the end of the course, students will have the knowledge and experience to pursue a career in the exciting field of 3D animation.
Full course Description
Modeling
Props & Set Modelling :
Focuses on using 3D software to build sets and props. The 3D modeling tools are required and are also encouraged to develop their own 3D scenes. Modeling interior and exterior sets based on a designed layout is also a focus during this part of the course.
Character Modelling:
Focuses on modeling 3D characters. Use reference images to build characters from scratch and add features to them. Encouraged to build cartoony, heroic, alien, human and animal characters.
Look Development
Focuses on creating shaders, and Materials and understanding light properties, shadow properties and visual impact of lighting on CG sets. Encouraged to study the surface features of the various objects and create shaders accordingly. This section also covers the workflow involved in texturing characters.
Rigging
Students examine some of the more intricate ideas and techniques involved with the character set-up process. Students begin by looking at constraints to see the ways they can create inter-object relationships, and how to start the process of setting up faces using blend shapes and facial controls. At the end of this term, students have a solid bipedal rig that they can use for their short film. Submit one Biped rig, Quadruped rig & Facial rig.
Animation
Students to finalize their short film stories, create a 3D animatic from a storyboard, model proxy character(s) and/or model final characters, rigging the character and create a facial rig control panel if required, and have a final posed animatic that has been approved from given animatic. Walk cycle, Run cycle for both Biped and Quadruped. Create a custom audio and create facial animation with body mechanics for the character.
FX
Students will be learning how to create Effects for Movies, Such as Blast, Smoke, Dust.
Cloth Animation, Rigid Bodies collision, Particle effects for creating Rainfall and Arrow effects.
Portfolio
Creating a student Portfolio of 30 sec – 1 min based on student specialization in any Module in 3D, with a good concept and execution of any chosen subject giving importance to all the elements of 3D with good sound synchronization.
