Class 3D Modelling II

This curricular unit should provide and motivate students to create 3D environments, with a more artistic look. Through Autodesk Maya software, as the main construction tool, a set of knowledge and techniques is proposed, ranging from 3D modeling (part II) to texturing processes, creation of light environments and post-production of 3D projects. Along the way the student will have proportion and this 3D scenario for an animation project.
