Contact Hours: | 2.0 |
Lecture: | 1 x 1 Hours Weekly |
Individual Study: | 1 x 5 Hours Weekly |
Tutorial: | 1 x 1 Hours Weekly |
Syllabus: | An introduction to the vocabulary, concepts and methodologies inherent to 3D animation. Lectures provide instruction on the principles and concepts of 3D computer animation. The tutorials are an opportunity for students to apply lecture content into their project work. Students are expected to spend the majority of their time working independently and largely self-supervised. The tutor is available to help guide in the problem solving process but should not be relied upon to directly fix or solve problems. |
