The course „Computer Modelling – 3ds Max“ concures to preview courses and intensify knowledge at the domain of 2D and 3D graphic. Anew it is aimed to polygonal modeling and preparation model for 3d printer. Student is able to create own design in 3d software or create 3d digital model from existing real model.

The course complements the courses „Computer Graphics – Photoshop“, "Computer Modelling – Rhinoceros 3D". Therefore, it assumes a basic work with 2D and 3D graphics and other programs mentioned. Expecting basic work with 2D and 3D graphics and other programs mentioned.

The course is taught in the form of seminars which are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.

Graded course-unit credit requirements: attendance in lessons, meeting assigned projects deadlines, practical test verifying the knowledge of work with the software and creative work ability.
Resulting evaluation consists of evaluations on projects, tasks and a test. In total it will be possible to aquire 100 points. Resulting classification will be defined by the ECTS scale.
If some of the projects as well as a test are awarded less than half of the maximum pts., final evaluation of the course is "failed".
According to the article No. 13 of Study and Examination Rules of Brno University of Technology ECTS evaluation degree scale is used. . If some of the projects are awarded less than 50 pts., final evaluation of the course is "failed". The course is evaluated with the following grades: ECTS EVALUATION DEGREES / PTS. RATING / NUMERIC RATING: A / 100 – 90 / 1 / Excellent; B /89 – 80 / 1,5 / Very good; C / 79 – 70 / 2 / Good; D / 69 – 60 / Satisfactory; E / 59 – 50 / Sufficient; F / 49 – 0 / 4 / Failed.

The aim of the course is to learn the fundamentals of polygonal modeling in Autodesk 3ds Max. Adoption the basics of modeling in Autodesk 3ds Max, students will acquire the ability to create own designs without any limitation directly on the computer. Acquainted with the possibilities that polygonal modeling offers, with the creation of complex models and modeling according to real artwork or model. Students will gradually work on its design project with output options, including the preparation model for 3D printing.

Compulsory attendance at seminars. Education runs according to the week schedule. The way of compensation of missed seminars is specified by the tutor.
