The class is for the advanced study of 3-D lighting techniques and materials creation. 3-D students study lighting theory as it relates to the synthetic animation environment, range from a photo realistic style to 3-D cell shading style. Materials creation techniques range from photographing the real world for textures, to sophisticated procedural shader network design. Upon completion of this course, students will understand and employ the art and science of creating and manipulating lighting and surfaces in a 3D animation environment. Prerequisite: AN 3360 3-D Computer Animation Concepts + Techniques
