The 3D visualization option gives you the flexibility to pursue a broad range of applications that use digital design as the platform for 3D content creation. The option emphasizes creation and simulation of environments and objects for virtual spaces for a growing number of real-world opportunities. This option is part of the in the 3D digital design BFA degree.
3D digital designers use the aesthetic and technical expertise acquired in the 3D digital design major to create virtual elements featured in everything from TV and movies, virtual worlds, motion and broadcast graphics, and instructional multimedia. The option also includes data visualizations, augmented reality, medical and scientific simulations, architectural and engineering modeling, simulation for synthetic data generation and machine learning, and more. The vehicles, avatars, lighting, and environments you make are all designed to imagine something new, visualize an idea, or simulate a process. As you progress through the option you will discover new applications for your skills while working with advanced tools in a growing industry. From day one, you will learn and operate the same 3D software that professionals use to create projects with technologies like motion and facial capture, projection mapping, 3D scanning, and 3D printing, all of which are right at your fingertips.
As a students on the 3D visualization option you can easily collaborate with engineers, musicians, scientists, animators, and medical professionals. the curriculum affords you ample opportunity to apply your 3D design abilities in a variety of ways. You will take traditional design skills of shape, size, color, time, motion, lighting, and rendering, and expand upon them using 3D tools and emerging technologies to create the designs of the future. Alumni of the program can be found designing solutions to a broad range of challenges at top companies, and across medical, robotics, and other growing fields around the world.
