Academic year 2024/2025
Supervisor: doc. akad. soch. Ladislav Křenek, ArtD.  
Supervising institute: ÚK all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:

The graduates will be able to polygonal model in Autodesk 3ds Max. Adoption the basics of modeling in Autodesk 3ds Max, students will acquire the ability to create own designs without any limitation directly on the computer. Acquainted with the possibilities that polygonal modeling offers, with the creation of complex models and modeling according to real artwork or model.

The student acquires:
- Knowledge at the domain of 2D and 3D graphic.
- Knowledge to polygonal modeling.
- The ability to prepare model for 3d printer.
- The ability to create own design in 3d software or create 3d digital model from existing real model.
