HIGH-POLY SCULPTING
Students transition into digital clay workflows using tools like ZBrush to create high-detail character models. This stage focuses on "secondary and tertiary" details—such as skin pores, wrinkles, and garment folds—that provide characters with tactile realism. Students learn to work non-destructively with layers and subtools, allowing for iterative design changes while maintaining high-resolution fidelity.

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.
