MDT 160 — MDT-160. Introduction to 3D Modeling. (3 Credits)
Covers the basics of 3-D wire frames, surface modeling, solids modeling, and rendering. Students learn the concepts and techniques required to construct 3-D objects, including 3-D coordinates, spherical coordinates, and surface and solids modeling. User coordinate systems and multiple viewports also are discussed. Students construct a variety of objects using these techniques. Objects are rendered to slides and hard copy. Models produced with rapid prototyping equipment also will be studied. Fee is required. (5 contact hours)
