3D Modelling and Rendering, Part 2
IDEA90, 3 credits, G1 (First Cycle)
Valid for: 2023/24
Faculty: Faculty of Engineering, LTH
Decided by: PLED ID
Date of Decision: 2023-03-16
General Information
Main field: Industrial Design.
Compulsory for: KID2
Language of instruction: The course will be given in English
Aim
After completion of the the course, students should have
acquired basic 3D modelling and 3D rendering skills in order to
realise and present designs of basic complexity, and output 3D data
for rapid prototyping (3D printing).
Learning outcomes
Knowledge and understanding
For a passing grade the student must
demonstrate to:
- Understand that a thorough comprehension of a design’s core
aesthetics and dimensions is the prerequisite for creating 3D
models and 3D renderings with software
- Understand the 3D modelling and 3D rendering software user
interfaces
- Understand the basic workflows and sequences of actions in
order to translate designs of basic complexity into 3D models and
3D renderings, and to make changes as a design evolves towards its
final state.
Competences and skills
For a passing grade the student must
- With guidance create rapid prototyping/rendering ready 3D
models of rising complexity from 2D sections and transitions
between 3D forms
- With guidance create photorealistic 3D renderings using
real-world cameras, lighting, materials and textures
- With guidance create a rapid prototype (3D print) of a basic
design, including draft angles.
Judgement and approach
For a passing grade the student must
- be able to reflect upon the tools used and sequences of actions
to understand that there are often alternatives to achieve the
desired result
- be able to adjust their workflow, depending on each new design
that may require a different approach
- be able to comprehend that for certain designs, other software
alternatives may be more suitable than the one used.
Contents
The course consists of lectures, individual supervision and
self-study/homework.
Examination details
Grading scale: UG - (U,G) - (Fail, Pass)
Assessment: A passing grade will be awarded based on 80% attendance, completion of basic 3D modelling and 3D rendering exercises.
The examiner, in consultation with Disability Support Services, may deviate from the regular form of examination in order to provide a permanently disabled student with a form of examination equivalent to that of a student without a disability.
Admission
Assumed prior knowledge: IDEA85 or equivalent.
The number of participants is limited to: No
