Overview
This unit introduces you to 3D modelling within art and design studio practices. It builds sequentially upon the skills and knowledge of 3D design and imaging by providing a focus upon the practice and potential of 3D computer-generated modelling for product design. You explore the creation, manipulation, composition and output of digital 3-dimensional elements with increasing confidence and proficiency across a range of options and controls available through polygon and NURBS-based software applications and the understanding of production issues associated with their output (ie. rendering, rapid-prototyping, multimedia etc.)

Learning outcomes
When you finish this unit, you should be able to:
- 1
Skillfully and insightfully create, edit, manipulate, compose and output digital 3-Dimensional elements (ie. photorealistic renderings, surface models);
- 2
Explore the range of options and controls available through polygon and NURBS-based software applications and production issues associated with output (ie. rendering, rapid-prototyping, multimedia, etc) with increasing confidence and proficiency;
- 3
Produce 3D models with an increased design intention and creative application;
- 4
Demonstrate increased technical understanding of demands required across the development, application, creation and production of 3D computer-generated models;
