Course abstract | |
The study course provides an opportunity to learn the general principles of three-dimensional graphics and their use in the preparation of various types of spatial objects or interactive three-dimensional attachments. Students acquire practical skills in creating spatial objects, surfaces, modeling and creating animations. | |
Learning outcomes and their assessment | |
As a result of the study course students:
•knows the basic principles of creating three-dimensional graphic models and their application in various spheres of activity – practical work and creative work; •knows how to use three-dimensional modeling tools, create models for various target applications, object texturing, environment settings, lighting, photorealism, animation, combining real video with created graphic elements, 2D graphic animation in three-dimensional space - practical works and creative work; •Is able to independently find a solution for a specific task, argue his opinion in the process of developing practical work and creative work, develop a three-dimensional graphic scene and realize it - practical work and creative work. |

Requirements for awarding credit points | |
Must have completed and defended practical works. The creative work must be created. | |
Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work | |
The practical task must be started during the lesson, completed independently and submitted within 2 weeks from the moment of assignment. Independent study of literature and online tutorials to strengthen knowledge. | |
Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes | |
Evaluation of works takes place in a 10-point system, using the summative evaluation method. •Developed and defended practical works (each practical work must be submitted within 2 weeks from the moment of assignment and is evaluated with 2-8 points for a correctly executed work, with half of the possible number of points for a partially executed work). | |
