This optional study unit may be selected by all students.

The course represents the core business within the area of competences of three-dimensional graphics.  It focuses on 3DS Max in general, with particular attention on the module on digital filaments (Hair and Fur) and the one on Rendering in global illumination, aimed at developing architectural projects through V-Ray.  Starting from the knowledge acquired by students in Maya, in digital sculpting and texturing – Zbrush and Mudbox – through the first two graphics courses of the syllabus, this last study-unit will complete their basic training through the teaching of another software useful for the labour market, 3DS Max.  This software equips students with specific skills in the creation of digital filaments and in rendering, in order to widen their job opportunities even to the VFX industry and to architecture.  At the end of the course, students will exploit all the knowledge learnt throughout the three years to create their own demo reel or animated short in CG 3D.
