ECPT-319: Intro to Digital Sculpting

This class will introduce students to a digital sculpting workflow. The students will learn the essential tools (such as ZBrush) to create a digital character sculpt including soft body dynamic costuming elements and hard surface accessories. The class covers understanding virtual 3D objects, application of anatomical forms and hard surface techniques to properly produce a believable character. Through tutorials, exercises and critique this course will help develop the skills required for the creation of high-resolution virtual models for game, animation, and film concept development. This is a design-driven class focused on storytelling where students will need to convey a story through their character.
