Intermediate CG Art
In this course, we explore digital sculpting, aided by mesh-generating methods analogous to sculpting with traditional real-world clay. The course emphasizes free-form 3D sketching, providing a space for artistic development and exploration.
Finally, the digital sculpture will be technically optimized to suit the requirements of the chosen exhibition format. As such, the course partly aims to develop confidence in dealing with heavy polygonal data as part of a CG-workflow.
Working methodologies of various CG artists will be analysed, highlighting the essential approaches in contemporary CG art practice. Additionally, the course integrates a range of open-ended philosophical-artistic reflections, encouraging a critical contextualization of your artistic praxis.
Restricted to students at the Bachelor studies in CG art and Animation, Games and Entertainment Technology, Film and TV production and connected study programs at our international partner institutions.
Prerequisite courses:
CGA1001, Art Fundamentals (or similar)
CGA1003, CG Art Fundamentals (or similar)
