FOUNDATIONS & PRE-PRODUCTION
Foundations & Pre-Production: This stage focuses on the critical planning and spatial design required to transform abstract concepts into structured scenes. Students master the art of reference gathering and visual storytelling while learning to "block out" environments using low-fidelity greyboxing to establish scale, composition, and gameplay flow before committing to high-detail work.
Instructor Profile
Prerequisites
Description
Spatial Composition: Master the "Rule of Thirds" and leading lines to guide a viewer’s eye through a 3D scene.
Architectural Literacy: Analyze real-world structures to ensure environmental assets reflect realistic scale and construction logic.
Prototyping Speed: Execute "Greyboxing" workflows to rapidly test level layouts and player movement without high-poly constraints.
Course Rules
· Attendance Policy: Participation is mandatory; exceeding a 15% absence rate will result in an automatic failure of the course.
· Grading Criteria: Final grades are calculated based on a combination of consistent attendance, completion of practical assignments, and the quality of the final project.
· Punctuality & Professionalism: Arriving late or leaving early frequently is often penalized as a partial absence. Students are expected to treat the classroom like a professional studio, maintaining high standards of conduct and communication.
· Submission Deadlines: Late submissions for assignments or the final project are generally not accepted or are subject to significant grade deductions unless an official medical excuse is provided.
· Originality & Academic Integrity: All motion assets, animations, and project files must be the student's original work. The unauthorized use of AI-generated assets or "stealing" project templates without significant modification is strictly prohibited and can lead to immediate disqualification.
· Hardware & Software Requirements: Students must ensure their personal workstations meet the 2026 technical specifications for rendering (typically requiring high-end GPUs and 32GB+ RAM) to prevent project delays during the final rendering phase.
· In-Class Engagement: Active participation in peer critique sessions is often a mandatory component of the "Attendance" grade, requiring students to provide constructive feedback on others' work.
