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
