Prerequisites
! PV272 3D Modelling
Interest in digital 3D modelling applications, creative thinking. Basic knowledge of computer graphics theory is expected, e. g., in the scope of course PB009 Principles of Computer Graphics. Students should know terms such as spline, polygon mesh or texture mapping.

Course objectives
The aim of the course is to explain the principles of 3D modelling and mediate practical skills and experience in this area to students. Topics such as polygonal modelling, applying textures to models, lighting of 3D scenes, and basics of animation will be covered during practically oriented seminars. Emphasis will be placed on the individual work of students. The course complements the theoretical lectures of PB009 Principles of Computer Graphics.
Learning outcomes
Student will be able to:
create the 3D model from the given assignment (photo reference, blueprints, etc.) using both parametric and polygonal modelling principles;
apply textures and materials, set up lighting to create a realistic 3D scene;
create a simple animation of the created model;
prepare a given model for further usage (e.g. 3D print, digital games, VR);
