Video Game Design 12
Course Description
Video Game Modelling & Level Design builds on the knowledge learnt in Animation 11 and allows students to delve further into a new, very specific area of the animation field. Students will choose an area to specialize in from the following: low polygon modeling, high polygon modeling or level design. They will choose which video game engine they wish to work within, gather knowledge, and create characters or levels that could then be used in a portfolio to gain entry to post secondary institutions or direct employment in the animation field.
