CS22/122 Intro to 3D Computer Modeling
W24 term
Graduate students taking 122 need Instructor Permission
This class teaches the fundamental principles, methods and tools for 3D modeling. We use Maya, Arnold, Substance, MASH, bifrost, and other state-of-the-art tools to create an environment, an abstract image, and an animated character.
No programming or previous modeling experience is needed.
The class is fast-paced and intensive, hard but fun.
