| Course Objectives | Introduction and providing comprehensive knowledge with practices to 3D Modeling and Rendering Software and media applications. Encouraging students to enhance new design expression and presentation skills by using computer tools, in a handson environment. Providing knowledge and practices of 3D Modeling applications in the context of 3DS Max software and Vray for advanced rendering applications. Improving knowledge and practices of 3D Modeling and Rendering terminology in technical English bases to help to express design abilities in other languages. |

| Course Description | The aim of the course is to build awareness about the concept of “sequence”. Digital sequence concept will be used within the control of camera, light, framing, and material components to build digital scenes. Students will be controling these notions to create digital environments which may be used in their design projects. Advanced modelling techniques, different rendering engines and and animation will be experienced. |
