Modelling and Materialization

Recommended Prerequisites

Image and video editing.

Teaching Methods

The accelerated learning process starts with the introduction to the three-dimensional modelling tools, programming forms, the development of functional or optical mechanisms, the proposal of materialization strategies, the development of conceptual and formal processes, physical simulations and materials mapping. This progressive development of the simulations complexity and the relationship between the analogue and digital world in thematic workgroup proposals, associated with social transformations, so that students reach an holistic awareness of the environment in which they interact.

Learning Outcomes

The 3D Modeling and Materialization module intends to develop technical and conceptual skills in the creation of material and virtual representations of scenes, objects and characters targeting content production for conventional media, new media, the fine arts, science and industry.
