Algebra University College offers to the next generation of its students a possibility to study in English on validated undergraduate study programmes in the fields of computing, design and management and a unique chance to receive a dual degree from AUC and Goldsmiths, University of London.
The 3D Design study programme equips you with the knowledge needed to become a contemporary artist ready to work in the film, television and computer games industries. You will acquire fundamental skills of drawing and visual thinking and gain an understanding of
composition, visual space, color and lighting. On top of this traditional knowledge base, you will acquire the knowledge of digital sculpture, 3D visualization, animation and digital design. During your studies, you will unlock your creative potential in modern technology by creating realistic and imaginary characters and objects in line with emerging trends in real business environments. Throughout the three-year programme, you will learn to express yourself and create in a virtual world, and have a chance to prepare a portfolio that will be a stepping stone to your further career. We will prepare you to become an expert in creating various aspects of virtual worlds. From conceptualizing characters, objects and environments, to specialized animation and visualization 3D Design using the latest technology, you will learn to create in a virtual environment, and use your creations in a variety of real and virtual scenarios. Depending on your preferences, you will be able to further specialize in concept art, digital sculpture and 3D shaping, animation, film and video, as well creative process analysis and artistic direction.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
TYPOGRAPHY
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 Design 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.
FILM AND VIDEO
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.
3D LIGHTING AND RENDERING
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.
CHARACTER ANIMATION
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
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.
PLASTIC ANATOMY
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
