Description (ECIAD)This course introduces the 3D character pipeline, from design to creation, exploring the contexts of representation and impacts of design choices. Using anatomy as a guiding principle, 3D modeling of characters and implementations of skeletons will be conceptualized and applied guided by visual reference. There will be a focus on the aesthetic intent, functionality and texturing of the character design, and the 3D environments and props that support the character's identity. The course structure includes lectures, hands-on demonstrations, discussions, presentations and critiques.
