The course includes a study of light and shading techniques, assigning materials to surfaces, graphics file formats, motion techniques used in animations, and output to both video and hard-copy devices. 2 lecture, 2 labs, 3 credits Prerequisites: DFT 211 CAD II Co-requisites: None STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES: As a result of meeting the requirements in this course, students will be able to: Student performance on these objectives will be measured by: 1. Students will be able to implement different methods of CAD rendering and shading techniques used to create photorealistic images. Drawing exercises and final animation project. 2. Students will demonstrate the value of high quality rendered and animated CAD presentations. Drawing exercises and final animation project. 3. Students will be acquainted with the use of multimedia techniques used to enhance a CAD presentation. Drawing exercises, mid-term exam and final animation project.

Murdock, Wiley, 2013 PhotoShop CS 5 Bible, Danae Dayley, Wiley, 2010 EVALUATION: A. Drawings .............................30% B. Final Animation Project.......50% C. Mid Term Exam...................10% D. Class Participation................10% Assignments are due the class meeting after they are assigned (Unless otherwise noted by instructor). Assignments submitted after that date will be lowered one full letter grade per class meeting that they are late. Assignments will not be accepted after the final submission date listed in the calendar and will receive a failing grade after that last submission date. ATTENDANCE POLICY: Attendance will be taken twice during each class period. The first attendance for the lecture portion of the class will be at the beginning of each class. The second attendance, for the laboratory portion of the class will be taken at 11:30 a.m. for classes beginning in the morning, 5:15 p.m. for classes beginning early afternoon, and 9:45 p.m. for evening classes. If a student is absent from the lecture portion of the class, it will be recorded as an absence for the entire class period. If a student is absent from the laboratory portion of the class, it will be recorded as an absence from that portion of the class only. A letter grade will be deducted from the class participation portion of your final grade for each absence beyond three absences from either portion of a class period. SPECIAL NOTES: A final grade cannot be assigned for the course until all drawings, projects and examinations for the course have been completed. Make-up examinations will be administered in accordance with the instructor's and division's policy. FACULTY ABSENCE PROCEDURE: Please note well. A daily listing will appear in the glass case located in the main hall A bldg. which will indicate all classes which are cancelled. Students can consult this case before going to class. If students find a class cancelled which has not been listed, they should report this to the divisional dean’s office (S338) or to the evening/Saturday office (L113).
