Content

In this course, students will work independently to produce a 3D animated character for real-time rendering within a game engine. The students will present the incremental stages of their work and discuss crucial decisions made during the creation of their game-ready animated character within a real-time render scene.  

The real-time render scene showcases the character's personality through the utilization of thorough research, references, 3d modelling, rigging, animation, and visualization techniques. The digital, interactive, real-time scene in the game engine enables the player to activate various animations.
