Module Indicative Content
Students will be introduced to the 3d Modelling environment using 3DSMax. They will be introduced to
¿ Coordinate systems
¿ Further Compound objects
¿ Further material creation
¿ Introduction to UVW Unwrap
¿ Introduction to Advanced Lighting
¿ Introduction to Mental Ray rendering
¿ Cameras on paths and output rendering
Module Learning Strategies
The module will be delivered using a combination of demonstrations and supervised tutorials. The majority of the work will be of a practical nature and students are expected to use their independent study time to consolidate this work.
