2023-2024 Catalog [ARCHIVED]

Animation- 3D, COP


This certificate is intended to produce relevant hires for the immersive design industries prevalent in Irvine. Immersive Design - 3D Motion requires focus on imagined, captured, and emphasized movement prepared in an industry standard software, as well as story, character, and the 12 Principles of Animation as it relates to manipulating captured motion. Students who complete this certificate will produce a demo reel of imaged, captured, and emphasized 3D motion prepared for immersive media that demonstrates a proficiency of manipulating motion data, as well as basic model rigging, and a 2D drawing portfolio that demonstrates visual communication skills. Students will graduate with a group project wherein ‘Agile’ production skills are practiced and mastered in a team production environment driven by self-defined goals, production documentation, and final project deadlines. Occupations in Immersive Design are highly competitive and require dedication to mastering professional skills beyond mere classroom immersion. Students are encouraged to create assignments outside of class, pursue advanced material online, continue with foundation drawing courses, and participate in team projects on a continual basis in order to obtain a competitive edge.

Program Student Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to:

  • Students will demonstrate in a portfolio and demo reel an ability to translate the twelve principles of animation with a rigged model into a believable character performance and lends this understanding towards a mastery of capturing and refining digitally captured live action motion performance using industry standard software, the technical ability to create animation cycles and rigged models, an ability to generate western, eastern, and emerging style story for interactive media, basic drawing technique to communicate performance ideas, and the artistic ability to generate character and layout design. The above skills will be tailored to their use in new emerging media like augmented and virtual reality, immersion design, game asset creation, and all forms of new media.
  • Student will participate in collaborative project as final course in major curriculum, and be assessed by project design, schedule, and asset development matrix. Students will provide evidence of team work, disciplined production experience, and collaboration between self-organizing, cross functional teams using ‘Agile’ production methods (a method of group production used in game studios) through the creation of a group project utilizing skills learned in the Immersion Design - 3D motion certificate of proficiency curriculum with a completed interactive media arts group project.
  • Student will demonstrate knowledge of the history, literature, and function of the Immersion Design arts, including works in gaming, immersive arts, film, and television. Student will have an in depth understanding of the immersion design products created by area industry specific to the Orange County region.
