Digital 3D models of designs and art works have become an industry standard for prototyping (aka “testing” a piece) as well as for eventual production. This course aims at familiarising students with principle ideas, approaches and practices in the field, focusing especially on the steps of “modelling” and “rendering”.  

VART2575 Digital Tools: 3D Software is an introductory course that focuses on software to create digital representations of three-dimensional designs. It aims to equip the students with basic knowledge about digital modelling and the skills to master popular software such as Sketchup and Autodesk Fusion 360.  

Fluency in these applications will require further practice beyond the course’s duration; this course intends to lower the access thresholds, familiarise the students with principal functions and features, and point towards solution strategies when using these programmes.
