Learning topics related to creating simple animations of rigid bodies or animals that have relatively simple geometry and skeleton.

Creating geometry of rigid body and simple animals, setting up appropriate rigging, creating skinning and creating characters key positions. Creating an animation.

Creating geometry (Mesh) of character. Creating character rigging. Creating bones, as well as controlling these bones, setting the parameters that prevent unnatural movement. Set bones and create Inverse Kinematik and Forward Kinematik chains. Using curve editor to better control movement. Control of twisting of the hand, torso or neck. Creating bones of the head, eyes and eyelids, eyebrows, lips and their controls. Skinning creating, i.e. connecting the geometry (Mesh) of a character with a set of rigging of character. Setting Character in Key Poses. Using different techniques, i.e. skin modifiers (Weight tool and Parameters Rollout) to correct a characters Mesh.

Lectures and Practice in the computer laboratory. Consultations. Computer practice is based on the use of 3D Studio Max, After Effects and Premiere softwares. During the semester colloquiums are organized after completed thematic wholes. During the semester computer animation are being done and each students work on his/her own personal animation, but also the Practice group creates a common animation. In order for the student to pass the examination, besides other prerequisites, he/she has to win at least 30% of the points in each obligation.
