YEACT 315 - 3D Animation (Age 14-17)

Learn beginning animation skills using 3D Studio Max. This course is intended to be an introduction to the fast growing field fo 3D animation. Learn what it takes to complete an animation in 3D from beginning to end. Create storyboards for your projects using 3D Studio Max to construct, texture, light and animate the scene, when the animation is complete, the project will be recorded onto a CD that you can add to your portfolio. Topics covered will include modeling from primitives (trasformations and modifiers), the basics of color and theory and compositional theory, bitmap versus procedural mapping, lighting, and animation (forward and inverse kinetics).
