Summary of content

This module enables students to specialise in a selected area of personal interest within the field of 3D Visualisation and Animation. Students will use a range of industry standard software and pipelines to apply advanced rendering and animation techniques and animation techniques in order to build on the 3D modelling and animation skills previously gained within the programme.

Students will explore emerging technologies and processes in advanced 3D modelling rendering and digital compositing and will have the opportunity to explore real time rendering technology. Students will be expected to investigate the different requirements and skills for key sectors within the 3D computer animation industries such as Architectural Visualisation, Computer Game Production and Visual Effects.
