Course code VESD 1120

Credit 3.0

Length 54.0 hours

Course outline View

This course introduces students to professional 3D modeling software for creating polygon-based assets essential in game design and extended reality (XR) projects. Students will develop technical skills in geometric visualization, effective software workflow, and primitive geometry manipulation. The course culminates with students producing a themed scene containing a minimum of five original 3D modeled objects.
