Overview
This unit builds upon the skills, techniques and theory introduced in FIT1033 Foundations of 3D and extends their research and skills in 3D character design and motion capture technologies for games and 3D animation. Students will be introduced to advanced techniques for character detailing (modelling and texturing) character animation (motion capture systems) and 3D environmental design. The theoretical and practical considerations contributing to the conceptualisation and preparation of 3D characters for animation sequences will constitute a key focus of this unit.
