GAMES 4900 - 001 Realtime VFX
Realtime VFX is a type of dynamic animation used to add polish and breathe life into a game. It encompasses anything that moves that isn’t a character or an object, and is typically split into two main categories; gameplay effects and environment effects. Things like water, fire, explosions, spells, and electricity are typical effects that a VFX artist may develop for a project. This course will cover fundamental elements of VFX like creating particle systems, authoring complex shaders and materials, optimization, generating and using flip books and more. Students will spend most of their time implementing effects within the Unity game engine. Other software will be talked about that are common in the use of FX like Photoshop, and Maya.

GAMES 4900 - 003 Urban Aesthetics & Play
The focus of this theory and practice-based course is the connection between urban environments and play. We will investigate this in two parts: in the first half of the semester, we’ll focus on the ways in which urban environments have inspired video games and in the second half, on how play can transform our experiences in urban environments. By applying theories from urban aesthetics and games studies, students will focus on the relationship between urban spaces and video games as well as how the mechanics of games and technology can help reimagine cities into playful places.
