EAE 3630 - Hard Surface Modeling

Introduces students to asset design and production pipelines for creating realistic hard surfaces for machinima, games, and CG with a focus on high poly modeling. Students will utilize advance graphics software packages that are prominent in the video game industry such as Maya and z Brush. These software packages will be demonstrated from a user's perspective and explained from the software engineer's point-of-view.
