Objectives of the Course The aim of the plastic modeling course is to enable students to experience, understand, and develop the application of character and space designs in three dimensions. This is achieved by transferring designs to a three-dimensional environment using ceramic clay and 2D sketch studies, within the context of game development. Additionally, the course aims to provide students with the basic knowledge and skills necessary to excel in this field.
Course Content In this course, students will acquire fundamental knowledge and hands-on experience in shaping objects in a three-dimensional environment using ceramic clay. They will learn to create and manage character and environment designs for game projects, outline game concepts based on these designs, and develop milestone designs for their game projects.
