Course purpose

This course aims at giving the students deepened knowledge of and competence in modelling and visualization in 3D CAD systems

Schedule

TimeEdit

Course literature

Course material will be available for download from Canvas in conjunction with the lectures!

Course design

This course will be based on partly scheduled, supervised tutoring and practical exercises. Theory and practical exercises will be mixed.

Knowledge and skills gained during the course are applied on smaller mandatory projects and a final project.

Changes made since the last occasion

All the presentation material are going to be up to date! New updated software.

All lectures will be in the computer lab MT-TD.

Learning objectives and syllabus

Learning objectives:

  • Describe and exemplify the digital product developmental process, from early conceptual models to final high-grade geometry.
  • Describe, analyze and execute advanced NURBS Modelling (Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines, a mathematical method to describe geometries)
  • Describe and execute virtual analyses to achieve continuity between surfaces. 
  • Show an in-depth understanding of and be able to generate digital materials (shaders) to support photorealistic image production.
  • Understand the possibility of using Generative Design
  • Using VR - Technology in the CAD-process
