“The screen is a window through which one sees a virtual world. The challenge is to make that world look real, act real, sound real, feel real.”
Ivan Sutherland known as the father of computer graphic once said.
What make this course unique?
First, it is organized in four main parts that are integrated together for wholistic learning:
(A) 3D Foundation: Knowledge and Skill (follow text books 1 and 2)
Topics: Introduction to 3D Graphics, 3D Rendering, 3D Graphics and 3D JavaScript Libraries Three.js, 3D Creation Process, Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR).
(B) 3D Creation: Demo and Practice (follow text book 3)
Topics: Blender Basics and Interface, Character Creation, Modeling, Unwrapping, Texturing, Rigging, and Animation, Camera Tracking, and Compositing.
(C). 3D Applications: Case study and Presentation
Topics: case studies of interesting and pertinent 3D applications, platforms, and hot technology ventures.
(D). 3D Project: hand on practice and team work
Topics: students will work as a team for interesting and realistic 3D projects
Second, this course emphasizes free, open source, cross-platform tools for 3D creation. No costs for the 3D tools used in the course.
Third, this course is for both information management (IM) students and non-IM/non-IT majors.
Fourth, students will benefit from instructor’s 3D business experience and from half a dozen quest speakers from 3D professional fields who will help demonstrate 3D tools and advise 3D group projects.
3D will give everyone an unprecedent opportunity to imagine beyond reality as Albert Einstein once said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge!”
