Entry Knowledge

Plane drawings in any CAD system.

Aims

Creation of three-dimensional model of any type (free model). Understanding the standard modeling techniques when working with solids and modeling with using NURBS curves and surfaces. Creation of materials based on their physical (optical properties) and based on the map (texture). Fundamentals of model views and lighting. Photorealistic images of the model and simple animation. Teaching is done in either AutoCAD or in Rhinoceros.


Creation of three-dimensional model of any type (free model) and visualization.
