The course introduces candidates to the general fundamentals of 3D graphics in areas such as static and moving image creation and realtime simulation in the context of contemporary art. The aim of the course is to master the basic techniques for the preparation of 3D graphics (3D models, materials, textures, animation, rendering, programming). After completing the course, the candidate should be able to independently produce 3D graphic materials for their own work (image, video, 3D printing, simulation, virtual reality, etc.).
During the course, examples of contemporary art created through 3D editing programs are presented and the teaching is directed towards learning techniques that can be used to achieve similar results.
