53-324 IDeATe Special Topics in Animation: Advanced 3D Asset Creation (for Animation Pr

6 units, Carnegie Mellon University

The course will cover advanced techniques for modeling, texturing, and rendering realistic digital props for use in visual effects and 3D animation. Students will create a series of highquality models in Maya, texture them with Substance 3D Painter, and then render them in Mayas Arnold renderer. The class will cover project organization, hardsurface modeling techniques, highlydetailed texturing workflows, color space management, look development, and some lighting. At the end of the course, students will composite their 3D assets seamlessly into a photo as well as render turntables to present their work.
