Animation and Game Texture Design

• • Character Research and Design
  • Character Modeling and Texturing
  • Character Rigging and Animation

You must either have successfully completed the following subject(s) before starting this subject, or currently be enrolled in the following subject(s) in a prior study period; or enrol in the following subject(s) to study prior to this subject:

• CUR-DIG230-Introduction to 3D Modelling and Rendering

Please note that your enrolment in this subject is conditional on successful completion of these prerequisite subject(s). If you study the prerequisite subject(s) in the study period immediately prior to studying this subject, your result for the prerequisite subject(s) will not be finalised prior to the close of enrolment. In this situation, should you not complete your prerequisite subject(s) successfully you should not continue with your enrolment in this subject. If you are currently enrolled in the prerequisite subject(s) and believe you may not complete these all successfully, it is your responsibility to reschedule your study of this subject to give you time to re-attempt the prerequisite subject(s)

Additional requirements

• Equipment requirements - Audio video equipment required. Computer capable of running project-relevant animation software.
• Software requirements - Relevant Animation Software (eg. Adobe Creative Cloud, Maya, zBrush etc)
• Other requirements - Access to the Internet.

This subject develops students' skills and conceptual approaches in areas that are critical to all forms of animation; namely, the creation of textures for characters and objects, digital sculpting, and the application of motion (animation) to characters or objects. Students will have the opportunity to develop their conceptual approaches and explore the technical possibilities of animation and game texture design through hands-on production experimentation.

Please Note: If it’s your first time studying a Curtin University subject you’ll need to complete their compulsory ‘Academic Integrity Program’. It only takes two hours to complete online, and provides you with vital information about studying with Curtin University. The Academic Integrity Program is compulsory, so if it’s not completed your subject grades will be withheld.
