The 3D Modeling & Motion Design Certificate is an interdisciplinary certificate appealing to those interested in graphic design, visual design, web design, video, and extended reality. Students will create three-dimensional assets used in video games, special effects, and entertainment. By emphasizing narrative, students will learn to tell stories in motion using compositing, keyframes, timelines, looping, motion tweening, basic scripting, and visual effects.
After completing the 3D Modeling & Motion Design Certificate students will be able to:
1. Research, conceptualize, refine ideas, and prototype as part of the creative process.
2. Demonstrate technical knowledge and competency with current design tools and technology.
