The students

• learn various design principles in 2D and 3D.
• are proficient in the use of various tools for creating 2D/3D graphics.
• know the difference between bitmap and vector graphics and their various uses in different 2D application scenarios.
• are able to create 3D models of templates, sketches or real objects using common methods and workflows.
• master the basic material workflows for a realistic representation of virtual objects.

• Online tutorials: A series of online tutorials (Udemy, Blender Cloud, Youtube, etc.) are provided as part of the module via the online learning platform.

• Moderated group work,
• Lecture,
• Project
• Several workshops (e.g., materials, modeling, etc.) are held as part of this module. During the workshops, a solution is to be developed on the basis of a given task, which is then presented.

Integrated module which is continuously assessed:

• Cooperation,
• Projects,
• written thesis
