This hands-on course focuses on state-of-the-art computer animation, presenting techniques and principles of traditional animation and how they apply to 3D computer animation, motion capture, and dynamic simulations. Facial and full-body animation are covered through projects, readings, and presentations. Students will complete weekly assignments and a create short animation of their choosing. Students are given models and add weight, force, timing, and spacing to bring the models to life and simulate real-world physics. No prior experience needed.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
