Course Overview
This course is the first of two courses in the team project sequence. The goal of the team project sequence is to prepare students for the deadline-oriented, results-driven, team-based environment that technical artists work in. Students will have the opportunity to use project management skills developed in Term 1. Students will be placed in teams to pitch, prototype, and deliver a technical art project, such as developing and optimizing tools, dynamic assets, procedural shaders and/or textures. Students will experiment with scripting, user interfaces and modeling techniques, and will apply technical and artistic skills specific to the project they are completing. Each week teams will discuss their progress with their instructor and receive feedback through team meetings and online sessions. The instructor will sign off on each milestone as the teams present their work.
