1/2 Credit Course - recommended for students in grades 10, 11 or 12.

The purpose of the course is to provide students with the skills and knowledge to use software to create three-dimensional models that represent real objects or illustrate ideas.

Students will be able to:

• add meshes of a variety of shapes
• edit a mesh - add/remove/move verticies
• rotate and scale meshes
• extrude verticies to create custom shapes
• subdivide verticies
• color an object
• position camera view
• add texture
• smoothing
• use timeline and keyframes to create an animation sequence
• render images and video output of 3D objects and animations
• design a 3D model or animation based on audience and purpose

Students in this course will work independently on this course on their own time. There will be learning resources made available electronically. There will be assignments and tests. The final project will be evaluated by the ICT teacher for ICT skills, and by a teacher in another subject for the content requirements of that class.
