DIS3107

3D Modelling for design 1

(A&D)

3 points + 2 studio hours and 4 independent study hours per week + First semester + Caulfield + Prerequisites: DIS1101, DIS1102

Synopsis: The subject will focus on creating photo-realistic images of design products. Thourgh the modeling of the product the student will develop skills in understanding complex form and develop methods of dividing this into manageable sectons suitable for computer manipulation. The modeling techniques used are those most relevant to the design, engineering, and tool-making/rapid-prototyping industries, not those used in the entertainment/animation industry, which have quite different needs. The student uses the 3D model to evaluate component layout, form, colour and texture. Completed model is used to produce presentation artwork, detail technical drawings and in the creation of prototypes.

Assessment: Assignment-based work: 30%. Studio-based design work: 70%
