Digital sets are growing in importance in the effects extensions of physical sets. The creation of truly successful digital sets is difficult, requiring utmost modeling efficiency, an eye for architectural design, extensive texturing, and subtle and realistic lighting. This course will provide the fundamental strategies and techniques to achieve rich, believable environments.
Topics covered will include a survey of architectural design, modeling fundamentals, advanced texturing techniques, environmental lighting approaches, as well as proper camera work, setup and composition.
