Department
Credits 3
Instructional Method
Academic Level
This class is for product design students that are focused on strengthening their CAD modeling skills specifically for soft goods and wearables. The software package zBrush is most robust for these types of CAD models, for this class specifically models that require a more sculptural approach, more robust representation and manipulation of cloth, flexible materials and human centered design concepts. This intro class will teach the students the zBrush interface, basic modeling and rendering features focused on product design needs. This includes but is not limited to: footwear, clothing, soft and hard good accessories. The class will cover methods to export files for rapid prototyping and rendering (e.g. keyshot). Students will do several mini-projects with one final.
