3D digital design tools are becoming a necessary tool in a designers skillset. DESN 205 – 3D Form and Space not only aims to introduce students to 3D digital design vernacular to conceptualize, generate, and resolve both form and space, but also to develop their own understanding of the role 3D design plays within the design process. Often the more complex forms and spaces in design are no longer communicated through traditional 2D communication methods but via digital 3D models that can be manipulated, rendered and animated. This course is designed to give students the opportunity to gain knowledge and skill in this specific area of computer use as it applies to the three-dimensional design disciplines of Industrial, Interior, Landscape and Architecture.

DESN 205 – 3D Form and Space is primarily about developing computer skills and design methodologies that can be integrated and enhance working practices in studio. This will includes the acquisition of computer skills and an understanding of the processes and theories relating to the generating, manipulating, rendering and animating form and space. The trimester will consist of three sections: 3D modelling and texturing, simulated physics and particles interactivity experiments, and a compositing project aiming to integrate computer graphics with a photography/video component.
