Real-Time 3-D Modeling Minor
Study the creation of 3-D art for real-time media like games, virtual reality, and film production. Develop the artistic and technical skills needed to create high-quality 3-D models and textures.
Why Minor in Real-Time 3-D Modeling?
Using real-time 3-D (or RT3D) technology, users can interact with 3-D objects and environments that render in real time, faster than the human eye can detect.
Champlain’s Real-Time 3-D Modeling minor is focused on the creation of 3-D art for use in real-time media like games, virtual reality, augmented reality, and virtual film production. Students build and refine their skills in the artistic and technical areas needed to create high-quality 3-D models and textures.
Advances in RT3D technologies are having a lasting impact on industries like film and TV production, product design and manufacturing, architectural visualization, training and simulation, marketing, and more; professionals with RT3D experience are in high demand throughout these industries.
The Real-Time 3-D Modeling minor at Champlain is a great fit for students majoring in design-related fields or who have extracurricular design experience. Building RT3D skills in college can lead to valuable career opportunities after graduation.
