Welcome to Design Modelling - Time-Based

This is the Course Blog for Design Modelling - Time-Based/Advanced Visualisation. Use the links on the right hand side of the blog to navigate to other students blogs within the course and to other useful links, such as Blackboard portal.

This elective will align process based design techniques with time based 3D digital environments. It extends digital visualisation skills by introducing sequencing and storyboards to digital environments, and looks at compositing real footage with created footage.
