| Recommended semester: 4th -7th semester |
| Scope and form: Lectures combined with computer exercises. |
| Evaluation: Approval of exercises and reports
|
| Examination: 13-scale |
| Previous course: 04454 / 67465 og dele af 04352 / 67272 |
| Prerequisites: 02501 / 04251 / 67277 One of the courses: 67162 / 67163 / 67271 |
| Preferred prerequisites: A CAD / multimedia course. |
| Participant limitation: Max. 60 |
| Aim: Enable the participants to make 3D geometric models and Computer Animations, that can be used in Scientific Visualization, 3D multimedia production, modelling of Virtual Environments and in construction and design projects. Furthermore, the aim is to model complex geometric objects with CAD systems and propose geometric solutions to complicated technical problems. |
| Contents: Concepts for development of a Computer Animation. Geometric Analysis. Building geometric models in a combined patch-, polygon-, NURBS and density modelling system. Sculptured Surfaces. Deformation. Adding surface properties and 2D and 3D textures to the models. Warpning. Scene composing including light setting. Rendering techniques. Animations based on in-between techniques: camera animation, object deformations and animation. Function curves. Constraints. Dynamic simulation. Character animation using invers kinematics. Combining geometric objects and video / images so that virtuel object can be placed in a "real" world. Video editing and composing techniques such as used in the film industry. |
