Game Prototype Production	ANIM 151	Build props and environments in Maya, and integrate them into a game engine. Students will differentiate between the following four main production cycles of design, art building, technical scripting and marketing. Students will build game production schedules that identify milestones and deadlines. Students will create 2D and 3D game art assets utilizing industry standard software. Students will develop marketing strategies for game distribution. Students will produce game prototypes. Set up 3D characters and animate them using motion libraries. Construct environments in the game engine. Create and edit materials and textures in a game engine. Source and edit 2D and 3D art assets suitable for game engines.
Intermediate 3D Animation	ANIM 146	Animate ambient objects. Set up scenes for rendering. Convey the story with thumbnail scenes. Set up scenes for animation. Present plan of production of a short animation. Create portfolios. Create run cycles with character rigs. Apply motion analysis to key framed character animations. Create key poses for animation using rigged characters. Refine 3D character's walk cycle animation using the graph editor. Animate 3D rigged characters in walk cycles using inverse kinematics. Students will be able to refine the character's walk cycle animation using the graph editor. 96% of students passed this SLO assessments. Students will be able animate a 3D rigged character, in a walk cycle, using inverse kinematics. 96% of students passed this SLO assessments.
Intermediate 3D Modeling	ANIM 132	Students will be able to create a seamless texture map to apply to a 3D surface. Students will be able to light a 3D object using three-point lighting. Post process rendered images. Render a scene in passes. Set up lighting for animation scenes. Unwrap UV on organic models. Create real time materials and textures for 3D models. Create and fully texture a low-polygon model for use in a game engine. MO4: Demonstrate ability to render a 3D scene following professional methods for maximum realism of the scene. MO3: Demonstrate ability to design an appropriate setup, and light a 3D scene. MO2: Demonstrate ability to design UV layout, and texture 3D objects. MO1: Demonstrate ability to create organic looking 3D objects.
Introduction to 3-D Modeling	ANIM 130	Develop scenes with over 50 individual 3D objects Build 3D objects with proper topology Build organic models that demonstrate proper Edge Flow Render objects with three point lighting techniques Design the UV layout of simple polygonal objects Create UV maps and apply simple textures and materials on hard-surface objects. Plan, organize, and execute large scale modeling projects that include over 200 independent objects. Critique polygonal modeling projects based on learned skills and concepts. Create a complete scene from photographic reference using all acquired 3D modeling techniques. Students will be able to refine the ball?s squash and stretch animation with the Graph Editor. Use appropriate tools and techniques to produce polygonal objects of varying complexity (hard-surface based and organic based) that can be used in games and animation media. Students will be able to animate a bouncing ball in 3D Computer Graphics, using squash and stretch deformers, create movements to convey gravity and weight of a bouncing ball.
Introduction to 3D Animation	ANIM 140	Create thumbnails and sketches that effectively communicate storytelling and narration. Create animation that conveys storytelling using harmony in poses, pauses, and motion that is timed well. Create animation following the classic principles of animation consistent with animation industry standards. Critique character animations based on learned skills and concepts. Use appropriate tools and techniques to produce the walk cycle of a humanoid character that can be used in games and animation media.
Introduction to Gaming	ANIM 131	MO2: Demonstrate ability to plan a short game production, and track it through its completion using a simple production planning system. MO1: Demonstrate ability to organize digital assets required for a short game, in a manner that is easy to decipher, and manage. The students will be able to use the elements of story by presenting synopses of games utilizing simplicity, consistency, suspense, and fairness. Students will be able to compare and contrast the following four game types: 1. Shoot-em-ups, 2. First person shooter, 3. Strategy games, 4. Puzzle games Design art and animation for a computer game Build simple game mechanics for a computer game using the game engine provided. The student is able to improve a game iteratively. Develop a prototype of a board game. MO6: Demonstrate ability to conceive, design, create art assets, interface with a vendor site, and produce a working board game. MO5: Shows ability to implement a short game project, including all the aspects of the development: game design, art assets creation, sound design, coding, bug fixing, testing, and create a working build of the game.
