Introduction to 3D Modeling and Animation

2 Credits.

This course introduces Cinema 4D as a tool for creating 3D assets for illustration and animation. Essential topics include user interface, setting up reference images, modeling techniques, materials and textures, lighting, rendering, camera placement and movement, dynamic simulations, and animation. Students will develop skills to create and animate 3D models of organic and non-organic structures, gaining a solid understanding of the fundamental principles of 3D content creation. Outcomes include a proficiency in C4D and Redshift and the establishment of a 3D asset library for future projects.
