In this course, students learn advanced techniques for 3D modeling and texturing. They explore the applications of 3D principles and design concepts in order to translate from digital objects into physical objects. Students will be introduced to sculpting techniques as an alternative to traditional modeling.
At NBCCD, you will learn how to model, render, and animate 3d characters and objects.
In this course students will analyze and design environments and assets used in 3D projects. This course is a practical application of visual storytelling. They will engage in communicating visually, constructing meaning, and elevating impact using set design, lighting, and location.
In 3D Digital Design’s world building course, NBCCD students construct meaning, and elevate impact using set design, lighting, and location in a computer-modelled 3D environment.
In this course, students will explore the many aspects of character creation and development. Students will use shape and form language to convey aspects of visual design, and build on their understanding of modeling for the purpose of animation. Once completed students will explore the systems required to then animate these creations.
3D Digital Design students have many ways to express their creativity. The options available to them are endless. They only have to dream it.
In this course, students explore the applications of 3D principles in the context of the printing process. They apply knowledge of modeling in a practical manner and test each printer’s limitations. Students gain skills and develop problem-solving abilities with this process.
In NBCCD’s 3D Digital Design diploma program, you will not only learn how to design 3D environments and characters on software like Blender, but you will also learn how to print out those designs on 3D printers.
In this course, students will develop an understanding of the 3D marketplace and how to shape their place in it. Students will study market trends and freelance best practices. They will also build portfolios.
NBCCD 3D Digital Design students will have the opportunity to display their work in the George Fry Gallery, located in downtown Fredericton during their studies.
In this course, students are given the opportunity to work within a business or organization. They develop a professional level of conduct as they further their interpersonal workplace skills. In addition, they actively participate in the specialized activities of their practicum.
During their time in the 3D Digital Design program, students are given the opportunity to work within a business or organization.
At NBCCD, we believe in nurturing creativity, innovation, and strong business skills, ensuring that our graduates are not just skilled artisans but also savvy entrepreneurs, ready to make their mark in the ever-evolving world of craft and design.
