Applications of 3D Modeling and Design (CX4008701)

 

Credits

Undergraduate / 3 credits

 

Course objectives

The lecture introduce how to create 3D models from physical objects based on the mainstream 3D software, particularly 3DS Max. Several skillful concepts are delivered for designing and modifying 3D models. By utilizing texture processing and allocating lighting environment, realistic rendering is carried out. All these data are further suitable for reproduction by using 3D printing tools. We also offer the training of reverse engineering. This course aim to provide practical training and to have the ability of 3D design in relevant fields.

• 1. To facilitate the production of 3D data
• 2. To learn the skill of processing 3D data
• 3. To have the ability to duplicate 3D objects

 

Outline of lectures

• 1. 3D Digital model fundamental

• 7. Realistic rendering
• 8. Publishing and protect 3D data
• 9. Lab. tutorial

 

Textbooks

The course adopts teacher-authored lecture notes, supplemented by pre-recorded video lessons for learning. Additional materials will be provided as the course progresses. The class will revisit video content and emphasize discussions on methodologies.

Notice

1. Teaching how to create 3D models, with a primary focus on the latest version of Blender software.
2. The instruction will start from the most basic concepts, and there is no need for prior training in extensive mathematical calculations.
