ART 408 3D Modeling
(2-2-3) A continuation of 2D Commercial Illustration, this course introduces students to three-dimensional modeling and visualization for creative and commercial applications. Students learn to translate sketches and concepts into 3D forms, objects, and environments using industry-standard software. Emphasis is placed on modeling techniques, lighting, materials, and composition to convey storytelling through spatial design. Projects integrate digital sculpting, rendering, and compositing workflows to create professional-level imagery for animation, game, and product design contexts.
