Intermediate Studio: 3D Animation

10 units · Undergraduate

All Semesters: 10 units This course introduces students at the beginner to early intermediate level to practical 3D animation production through both traditional workflows and emerging digital tools. Students gain hands-on experience across the core stages of the 3D animation pipeline—including modeling, texturing, rigging, and animation—to develop the technical and conceptual foundations for digital storytelling in three-dimensional space. Grounded in established 3D animation practices, the course encourages students to experiment with AI-assisted tools and critically examine the role of these emerging technologies, while engaging with contemporary production strategies and workflows.
