This course will introduce the Cinema 4D software as a way of generating 3D assets for use in 2D illustration and as the basis for 3D animation. The course will cover all aspects of working in C4D including user interface, reference image setup, modeling techniques, and materials and textures. Students will gain an understanding and proficiency in C4D to create 3D digital models of surgical instruments, medical devices and basic organic structures. Students will be able to effectively model a variety of objects to begin building a digital 3D asset library for future use and to explore the basics of 3D animation.
Theory and techniques for creation of dynamic animation optimized for electronic presentation media.
Theory and techniques for the creation of a dynamic animation with interactivity, optimized for the web; and the development of a web-based portfolio
Comprehensive overview of human neuroanatomy with a focus on visual communication concepts. Lecture content is supplemented by access to specimens, pathology conferences, and radiological data. Includes creation of a color neuroanatomical illustration.
