About the program

These 3D animations are collaborative works done by students in IDS-252 Computer Animation Production and either MUSC-121 Creating Music with Technology or MUSC-339 Digital Music Techniques.

In IDS-252, students learn about story development, storyboarding, layout, 3D modeling, animation principles, cinematography, lighting, and shading. Students complete a seven week collaborative team project using Autodesk Maya to produce a 1-2 minute animation. Examples are shown below.
