Module Details
Module Indicative Content
Building on prior modelling knowledge from Introduction to Games Modelling 1A. The model introduces advanced techniques into the production pipeline. This will further the knowledge of modelling assets for the production pipeline. This knowledge will be utilised in the generation of complex game assets.
Module Additional Assessment Details
Coursework weighted at 100%.
Consisting of: A practical weighted at 70%. A written report weighted at 30%.
Practical assignment will involve the creation of a single complex object suitable for a game engine
A written report of 1500 words will communicate and Reflect on techniques implemented and suitability for a game platform. The Games asset production pipeline and further project improvements should be considered.
Assessing learning outcomes 1, 2 and 3.
