The Game Art Foundations course will teach students how to develop 3D environments, characters and
animation for interactive games. Game art development is an exciting and dynamic entertainment
medium that is quickly being adapted into traditional areas such as architecture, product design and
film making as well as emerging technologies such as VR and AR.
The course covers the techniques of making 3D artwork for games including: concept art, 3D modeling,
texturing, animation, lighting, gray boxing, creating animated game characters, creating interactive
environments, adding audio and interactive game play elements.
