AVR 235 - Environmental Modeling


Credit(s) 3.00
Lecture Hours: 2.00
Lab Hours: 2.00
This course will cover how to build environments for both games and simulations. Students will learn how to design an environment level using primitive modeling techniques; populate environments with advanced texture techniques; and use texture software and shaders to create an unique environment. Assigned projects will enhance learning of organic modeling with a focus on environmental elements.

Prerequisite(s):   
SLOs:
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

  • Design environment and world layouts for application.
  • Generate environments with modeling software.
  • Demonstrate advanced texture techniques for building environments.
  • Construct rigging and animation for environment assets.
  • Predict when and how to implement shaders.
  • Optimize scene for different platforms.
