US 3D Animation School Survey

By: 

Miho Aoki, University of Alaska Fairbanks, Fairbanks, AK, USA

In this document we present the results of a survey of faculty members teaching in programs where course in 3D Computer Graphics and Animation are offered in the United States. The survey consists of 30 questions and was conducted on-line through Surveymonkey.com. The survey was open from August 2010 through to January 2011.

Survey of Computer Art Applications

By: 

Charles Shami, Professor of Interactive Design and Game Development, Savannah College of Art and Design

This class is for students already well versed in the use of art and design computer applications. The basic components of digital design tools—vector, raster, modeling language and animation—are covered, culminating in the completion of a final project. Following an overview of HTML and Web page design, students create their own home pages.

High Dynamic Range Imaging

By: 

Kirt Witte, Professor of Visual Effects, Savannah College of Art and Design.

High Dynamic Range Imaging (HDRi) emphasizes the integration of computer-generated objects or characters into real world video or film footage. High Dynamic Range Imaging seeks to develop and integrate photography, lighting, and rendering into various 3D and 2D software applications by utilizing digital images containing light information more accurately than traditional digital imaging means
