The evolution of letterforms, typeface anatomy and relationships between characters, as well as familiarity with the basic concepts of typography will enable you to choose styles to use in 3D modeling and animation. In addition, the use of complex typographic structures as well as the design of letterforms, and the acquisition of drawing skills will be the basics that you will learn in your courses.

New technologies have established the internet as the most important distribution platform, but the content production process is still dependent on the creativity of the author. Both sides must be structured in such a way that they attract the intended audience and that the recipients of the story can easily recognize its message.

This course will teach you to understand the important role of light in scene creation and visual art in general. You will learn how to use different types of lighting, realistic lighting, indoor and outdoor lighting, how to approach scene rendering, optimize models and textures and how to blend them with the virtual environment to get the best result from a finished image or animation in a particular style.

This course will teach you to map the faces of your virtual characters in order to give them emotion. You will learn the basics of acting and carefully timed and planned gestures to achieve a higher professional level of animation and make the animated characters more understandable. You will learn about the professional standard methodology currently in use and the principles of creating animations of character movement, body language and acting using your own characters.

Texturing applies the final “skin” to any 3D object. The textures are created with the latest tools by creatively selecting materials, colors, and patterns that, using photo references as well as your own drawing and painting, are created in a wide variety of hyperrealistic and stylized solutions. Graphics in computer games and film special effects depend largely on textures and the way they are created, and this course will prepare you to work on such and other projects.

Nowadays, as computer graphics and special effects have reached hyperrealistic levels, a basic knowledge of anatomy has become extremely important, especially when it comes to bones, muscles and tendons visible on humans and animals. Learning how to perceive and create human bones, joints, movements, as well as the way these joints, ligaments, and tendons work, is extremely important in order to create characters that meet today’s standards.
