Course Content
This course focuses on tcaching procedural and non-destructive 3D design workflows. Students will learn node-based design systems, procedural modeling, and shading and rendering techniques. The course emphasizes using software to automate and optimize 3D design processes.
The primary goal is to apply procedural and iterative workflows effectively in educational and professional contexts.
Course Learning Outcomes
Students will learn the processes behind non destructive workflows. They will be able to create design systems that output fast and unique iterations based on user set parameters and generated content. They will learn using procedural modeling, shading and rendering techniques.
