The final aim of the course is to provide each student with the knowledge necessary to build their own three-dimensional "environment"

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The final objective of the course is to provide each student with the knowledge necessary to build a "three-dimensional" environment.

The learner will know how to build a 3D scene.

He will be able to judge which commands to use in 3D Studio max to get the best results.

He will be able to communicate the results of his project by returning the reconstruction and a report where he will specify the steps he has taken to reach the results shown.

Will be able to learn new methods of reconstruction through the composition of the concepts learned.

The achievement of the objectives will be verified with:

• the 3D construction of an environment chosen by the learner, with difficulties deemed sufficient by the teacher;
• a report illustrating how the learner came to the results shown
• an interview with the teacher

PREREQUISITES

Having of a medium-computing power notebook with the Windows operating system.

TEACHING METHODS

The course is based on the "learning by doing" methodology. The teacher proposes exercises that are more complex from time to time and learners must reproduce the teacher's actions using their own notebook.

Each exercise is finished and the next is passed when all the learners have finished it.

Classes are held in person. Attendance, although not compulsory, is recommended. No remote learning is available for this course.
