CRFT 381 - 3D Computer Modeling

An introduction to the use of 3D modeling software for visualization, design, production, and presentation of Craft objects. Through tutorial exercises and individual projects students will become fluent in the use of this important tool. One piece of software (such as formZ, Rhino, etc.) that is both CAD accurate and affordable by individual artists will be covered. As students gain proficiency they will apply the techniques to problems addressed in their major studio classes. Students taking the course for a second time will explore the capabilities of the software in more depth and will focus on intelligent sequencing of operations and using the tools in context. Formerly CR 203
