MMVP2045 3D Modeling
This course will explore modeling and texturing methodologies. Building on the basics of polygonal modeling and UV mapping, this course will focus on 2D and 3D painting techniques, normal mapping, and how to apply shaders. Using industry best practices, the student will study good and bad topology with multiple types of models.
