Course objectives
The aim of the course is to explain how to create organic form, the human head and body, in 3D modeling porgram. The anatomy of the human body is explained in relation to the 3D modeling techniques. Students are working independently under the teacher's supervision. The final project is head modeling according to photoreferences. The presentation of the model - lights, composition, rendering is also explained. There are also lectures explaining modeling techniques and explanation of the human anatomy with examples from art history. The work of CG artists is also introduced. The course is design to include the explanation of realization of the model in material through rapid prototyping methods.
