3.
Compose animations within CGI package and export to use in NLE software
4.
Create realistic environments using atmosphere and texture effects

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:3D software environment and control. Introduce the fundamentals of 3-D graphics and workspaces, explaining coordinates, axis, lines, vertex, meshes, and polygons. Design using modelling, working with splines; 3-D primitives; compound objects; object parameters. Animation using software. Use of environment effects, e.g. fog, underwater Lighting effects, types of light e.g. spot, directional. Camera properties, lens, focal length. Rendering and video post production. Advanced Effects, explosions, and shadows. Web streaming configuration. Live video web streaming.
Module Overview:
To provide the student with a competency in a state of the art software animation/effect package. To develop techniques for video editing and post production This module builds on the use of 3D models to apply animated effects. The module aims to develop competency in applying various 3D computer modelling and animation techniques, and integration with video editing and post-production systems. It requires the use and access to high end computer resources
