Course will use Adobe LiveMotion, an authoring tool that builds Flash files using an interface that is familiar to users of PhotoShop or Illustrator. Topics discussed include not only sound-synching an animation, but how the use of eyes, blinking, word and sentence emphasis, head, neck and body movement create the illusion of life in your character. Individuals should have some animation experience. Students will then learn to physically generate these objects using both MCAD s Modela mini machining center and Z Corp Rapid Prototyper. 3D rendering, 3D scanning, and the transfer of these models to other materials will also be introduced.
Course has additional fees based on the size of the project.
Students will acquire a working knowledge of the MacOS and technical instruction in a variety of software applications via demos, tutorials and exercises. In addition, students will be provided with a thorough walk-through of MCAD s computing facilities, resources and services. This introduction will prepare students for enrollment in future classes across all divisions and degree programs. Sound is an introductory course designed to acquaint students conceptually and technically with the medium of sound.
