Course Description
The MA 3D Design for Virtual Environments is designed to enable students to develop advanced skills, knowledge and understanding within the field of 3D visualisation and computer based animation, which will equip them to become skilled professionals in the 3D Design, Animation and Visual Effects Industries. This course is oriented towards current industrial needs, technology and practice and is intended to provide the students with the key skills required to develop both practical and theoretical proficiency in any specialist area of 3D animation. The Programme aims to address the demand for visual designers with the creative vision and technical skills, needed to support core design skill sets that exploit the animation and visualisation processes. Advanced skills in 3D are obvious requirement to prepare students for the fields of animation, architecture, product design, industrial design, and package design as well as any design field where 3D plays an important role in the profession. However 3D is becoming increasingly important for students pursuing advertising design, communication design, graphic design, book design, typographic design, illustration and website design. The course assumes no prior knowledge of 3D design which will enable students from other disciplines to take this opportunity to add specialist 3D expertise in three dimensional modelling and animation, digital video production and digital media integration techniques to their existing skill set. Students will gain knowledge and experience of the different production phases of a digital media project. Pre production skills such as planning, storyboarding and developing conceptualisation skills, production skills in 3D modelling, animation, lighting and rendering using advanced 3D applications such as 3DS Max and Maya, post production skills in video editing, integration of 2D and 3D visuals and DVD production will all be covered.
