COURSE DESCRIPTION

Focuses on training students in advanced techniques of 3D rendering and animation utilizing 3D Max software and the principles of photo-realism visualization, which enables the student to create presentation drawings for both architectural and industrial product design. Uses computer animation to produce walk-through that will bring the third dimension to architectural design. Lecture 2 hours, Lab 2 hours.

GENERAL COURSE PURPOSE

Enabling students to acquire better techniques and habits in developing presentations through computer and electronic media.

ENTRY LEVEL COMPETENCIES

Basic technical drawing and CAD exposure. Prerequisite: DRF 232

COURSE OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this course the students will be able to:

• Generate a three-dimensional model using 3D Max.
• Provide various camera perspectives and views of the model generated.
• Apply surface and material as well as light for the model.
• Develop a rendering of a typical electronic model.
• Animate the model about a given media or context.

• Basic three dimensional drawing
• Three dimensional surfaces and vertices application
• Material and Lighting laboratory
• Architectural models and rendering
