COURSE DESCRIPTION

Focuses on training students in advanced techniques of 3D modeling, rendering, and animation on personal computers. Introduces the principles of visualization, sometimes known as photo-realism, which enables the student to create presentation drawings for both architectural and industrial product designs. Uses computer animation to produce walk-through that will bring the third dimension to architectural design. Lecture 2 hours. Laboratory 2 hours.

GENERAL COURSE PURPOSE

Enabling students to develop better understanding of three-dimensional drawings as well as producing presentations through computer and electronic media.

ENTRY LEVEL COMPETENCIES

Basic technical drawing and CAD exposure. Prerequisite: DRF 232

COURSE OBJECTIVES AND EDUCATIONAL OUTCOME

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

1. Generate a three dimensional model from a two-dimensional drawing.
2. Provide various pictorial views of the model generated.
3. Apply surface and material as well as light for the model.
4. Develop a rendering of a typical electronic model.

1. Basic three-dimensional drawing
