This semester, the instructor wants to try something different by expanding the course content beyond just 3D modeling software. Students will still learn 3D studio max but will also discuss art, sketching, presentation styles, and the design decisions that go into virtual objects. Instead of printed portfolios, students will create online portfolios hosted on free websites to showcase their work and receive feedback. The instructor will grade all assignments, sketches, artwork, and the online portfolio presentation. Feedback from students is requested on the new approach.

1. Game art 3D
Something different

2. Something different
This semester I want to try something different..
Normally I only teach you how to make models
in 3D studio max.

3. Something different
This semester, I will still do that. And more..
We will talk about art, sketching, silhouetting
and presentation.
So, not only doing stuff.. But also, thinking about
it. Why is your crate a wooden one, or a metal
one..

4. Something different
No portfolio.
At least, not as you know it. No more printed
papers. But all online, in a personal website. An
online art portfolio for everybody to see.

5. Something different
Take a look at:

6. Something different
You can make your own website at
http://www.wordpress.com or anywhere else.
Promote your online portfolio at the game
group. Let people know what you are creating
and encourage them to give you feedback.
What means, that you have to give them
feedback to.

7. Something different
I will give you a grade on all your work. That
means:
All the assignments.
All your sketches, silhouetting and artwork.
And off course, your presentation of your work
on your online portfolio.

8. Something different
Time for feedback.
What do you think about my approach?
