This course covers digital modeling / sculpting techniques including polygonal modeling, digital sculpting and blend-shape facial animation. The course breaks down into 4 stages : 1. basic topology of head model (student’s profile photos as reference), 2. high-poly sculpting and projection texturing, 3. blend shapes animation, 4. final project. In the final project, students get to choose either lip-sync animation or conceptual piece utilizing the created head models. An overview of digital editing / compositing and sound design will also be introduced to assist with students’ final project at the end of the semester.
