Students will pursue an in-depth study of the artistic practices, fundamentals, and principals of intermediate game development and design, including binary space partitioning, terrain and foliage creation, animation, lighting, materials, visual effects, character creation, cinematics, post-process effects, level design, user interfaces, audio production, visual scripting, and game programming. Students will apply modeling, painting, sculpting, mapping, lighting, rendering, animation, compositing, and visual effects techniques. Students will demonstrate and apply what they learn through a series of creative and engaging projects. Projects integrate artistic practices and provide students the opportunity to participate in all aspects of the artistic process -- including creation, presenting, producing, performing, responding, critiquing and connecting.
