Course Goal / Objective
The aim of this course is to develop and reinforce three-dimensional thinking in the creation of illustrations. A goal-oriented process will be followed by designing illustrations in a voxel style through applications suitable for three-dimensional design in a digital environment.
Course Content
In this course, information and sample works on voxel art, a three-dimensional digital production technique, will be examined, and instruction will be given on the use of cubes in three-dimensional modeling, as well as on color and lighting. Subsequently, voxel illustrations will be produced as part of the projects throughout the semester.
Course Precondition
None
