3D Basics

24.8.2025 - 19.12.2025

5 cr

Face-to-face

3D Basics gives you the required tools and knowledge to design and create objects from characters to digital environments. Some of the theories and tools you will familiarise yourself with in this course include 3D Graphics Theory, Design, and Tools. The tools will include design and production tools for the 3D content. The theory will contain the full 3D production pipeline, including the game engine 3D graphics. You will have experience on the 3D art (graphics) creation process through the creation and usage of the 3D building blocks from speciality point of view.

What you need to know before the course

What you will learn

The objective of the course (objectives): Are eyecatching visuals your thing? Have you wondered how to get your own 3D products into a published game? What are the 3D art (graphics) processes in a game production context? Do you wish to build stylized characters, construct photorealistic landscapes or design appealing game sceneries? Nowadays games have stunning graphical presentation even though the visual styles differs greatly. There are many core development tools for creating those visual and it is imperative that a visual artist understand the purposes of the tools and how they are used to enable, support, or speed up the game art (graphics) production processes. Course competences: - Game Production: Student can produce 3D graphics related content for a game project and can work with the tools in meaningful and systematic way. Student can implement 3D graphics related assets with a game engine. Student can produce value for a game project while working in a 3D graphics related specialist role. - Learning to Learn: Also takes responsibility for group learning and sharing what has been learned. The learning objectives of the course (outcomes): After completing this course, you understand what 3D game art (graphics) is, what kind of tools and pipelines to use for the creation processes. You can determine the technical requirements for a certain asset and apply modelling techniques and parameters accordingly. You can distinguish different 3D art styles and produce content based on their guidelines. You can apply your skills as 3D art specialist to produce 3D graphics building blocks (content) for a game or multitude of applications.
