ART 4461 - Character Animation

In this course students will learn how to animate and output the 3D assets that were created and rigged in ART 3463 and ART 3453. The focus of this course will be the realistic movement of 3D characters. Students will learn how to use their characters to create realistic animal reactions and movement combined with readable emotional content. Once the movement is created, students will learn how to output their animations as scripts or rendered channels. When complete, students should have a firm grasp on the technical approach and the aesthetic considerations necessary to create convincing movement from 3D Assets and how to output for any application.
