课程特征 Course Features：
This course is developed for technological and practical requirements of current and future industries enabling students to become 3D visiual designers with creative vision and technical skills. The course proposes that the future of the three-dimensional design process lies firmly in the digital domain of computer aided design, 3D computer modelling, computer-generated animation, 3D laser scanning, stereo projection technologies, motion capture for characters, 3D interactivity and direct digital manufacturing technologies.
课程内容 Course Content ：
• Induction
This is an Introductory 4 week intensive module taken at the beginning of the course. It equips you with research skills and techniques and introduces the learning and assessment strategies used throughout the course.
• Critical Contexts,Creativity in Context
These two modules provide the theoretical underpinning for your studies, Business and Cultural theory as well as research methodologies vital to your subject research. There are individual and team projects similar to the Induction experience. The course philosophy is based on the principle of cross fertilization of creative disciplines and the value of learning from other specialists, the team projects are organised in to ‘clusters’ of related disciplines for example:
3D Digital Designers working with Spatial Designers or Digital Media Designers,
Fashion Designers working with Costume and Textile Designers, Digital Media Artists working with Fine Artists, Fashion Managers with Design, Marketing and Communication students. Graphic Designers with Fashion Promotion or Photographers etc.
• Exploration in Practice & Exploration through Practice
The specialist modules are where you develop your key subject knowledge and digital expertise. You will be supervised by specialist tutors particular to your own discipline often 1:1 or in small groups. You will work with your tutors to develop your skills with a final project providing an opportunity for individual expression. These modules introduce areas of emerging technologies, such as solid, polygon, NURBs, digital sculpting modelling techniques, 3D animation, rigging, stereoscopic visualisation, digital effects, 3D scanning and rapid prototyping.
• Master's Final Project/Thesis
This is a project you negotiate with your specialist tutor(s), you will have been encouraged to think about and plan this project through the proposal development stages embedded within the course. Your final project can be purely aligned to your own personal interests if you wish. Most students however, relate it closely to their career ambitions and often work with potential employers or undertake ‘live’ briefs, using it as an opportunity to showcase their specialist skills, knowledge and approach.
教学与评估 Teaching and Assessment：
Teaching strategies include lectures, tutorials, workshops and model making. Modules are assessed via a combination of the production and critique of 3D related work and presentations, culminating in an exposition of work in the form of theoretical and/or practice based work.
