ITGM 333 – Sculptural Texturing for Games

In this class each student creates an original 3D character from scratch. They have 7 days to come up with their concept designs and then use the remainder time of the quarter to model, sculpt, texture and render a fully detailed 3D character. Digital painting and proof concept techniques for character design, advanced modeling techniques in Maya, UV mapping for organic models, digital sculpting techniques in ZBrush (with normal maps generation), texture painting in Photoshop and Bodypaint 3D will be covered in this class. Students must take ANIM 250 or ITGM 240 prior taking this class.
