The visual effects industry requires 3D Modellers who are able to create accurate, real-world objects and creatures to a photorealistic standard. This module allows students to further develop their 3Dmodelling skills, looking at further techniques of both hard surface and organic modelling. Time will be spent engaging with practice briefs to develop speed and accuracy in modeling practice. Then, student will engage with one of a number of presented briefs to produce a realistic 3D model that is suitable for purpose e.g. has correct edge flow for animation or makes extensive use of displacement mapping to reduce scene density.

Demonstrate the necessary applied knowledge and techincal skills in a 3D Model.
Examine the 3D Model critically in its ascribed purpose.
Develop suitable processes and workflow for efficient 3D Modeling.
