Visual Communication Design

Students will learn five general types of modeling techniques using 3D modeling software, including hard-surface and organic modeling, digital sculpting, texture/modifier-supported modeling, geometry node-based modeling, and simulation-based modeling. Additionally, basic rigging techniques will be introduced to allow models to be posed.

Ami Chopine – 3D Art Essentials
Eric Keller – Introducing ZBrush
William Vaughan – Digital Modeling
Oliver Villar – Learning Blender
Dariush Derakhshani – Introducing Autodesk Maya
Bill Fleming – 3D Modeling Masterclass
Isaac Kerlow – The Art of 3D Computer Animation and Effects

Within the scope of advertising and publication graphics, this course aims to teach students the preparation of printed and digital publishing products, printing techniques, paper characteristics, digital page properties, and the process of preparing materials for print.

1. Understands the technical working principles of multimedia environments such as the 3D spatial coordinate system, polygon structure, and render engines.
2. Effectively uses industry-standard 3D modeling software and tools to create three-dimensional objects, characters, or spaces.
3. Transforms creative ideas into original three-dimensional visual expressions by using modeling, texturing, and lighting techniques.
4. Visualizes 3D scenes as final render outputs by considering aesthetic elements such as camera angles, material properties, and lighting.

*The following weekly plan and topics may vary depending on the year and semester of the course:
