This is an elective course that will help students acquire rendering techniques and skills in KeyShot to more effectively communicate their designs and ideas in a compelling and believable way. This course is open to all levels and majors; no previous KeyShot experience is required. Previous experience or classes in CAD/SolidWorks, and product design is a plus but not required. This course will cover the basics of KeyShot workflow, materials, textures, lighting, and KeyShot animation. Projects will be focused on grasping the functionality of all features, workflow techniques, and achieving photorealism. The first 10 weeks will revolve around rendering still images while the last 4 weeks will be focused on creating animated videos. This class will meet once per week for instruction and discussion on the class topics, in-class assignments, and one-on-one breakout sessions. Projects will use given models and assets for recreating an image and animation inspired by photo real images. Students can also use their own CAD models if they so choose.
