Synopsis:

This is the course of actually selected professional application - currently Maya modeling programm. The students will get knowledge of work with the application in order to be able to realize multimedia projects.

Requirements:

no prerequisities

see http://service.felk.cvut.cz/courses/Y39KMA/

Syllabus of lectures:

1. User interface, the philosophy of work in Maya. Introduction to task 1.

2. Polygonal modeling, operations over vertices, edges and objects.

3. Polygonal modeling - additional techniques. The first task checkpoint.

4. Subdivision modeling.

5. NURBS, operations over curves and surfaces. Evaluation of the first task, start of the second task - complex model creation.

6. NURBS - additional operations.

7. Textures and light.

8. Rendering.

9. Animation using channels, principles.

10. Inverse kinematics, rigid body models. The second task checkpoint.

11. Particle systems, mechanics.

12. Fluid dynamics.

13. Simulation of cloth and hair. Evaluation of the task.
