Learning outcomes of the course unit
The course „Computer Visualization and Animation 2“ concures to preview courses (in the B-PDS studies) and intensify knowledge at the domain of 2D and 3D graphics. Anew it is focused on animations creation. Student is able to create an interactive-multimedial presentation and visualization of his/her own project.
Prerequisites
The course complements the bachelor study courses „Computer Graphic I - CorelDraw/Adobe“, "Computer Modelling - Rhinoceros 3D" and "Computer visualization and Animation 1". The elements of work and knowledge of working with the CorelDraw, Rhinoceros 3D, Maxon Cinema 4D, Autodesk 3DS Max, Adobe Flash etc. softwares are supposed.
Co-requisites

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
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.

Aims
The course is an advanced mastering Autodesk 3DS Max. Students will be able to create complex polygonal 3D models, edit, texture mapping, to present their 3D proposals by animation and photorealistic visualization. The second half of the course is to learn the basics of film postproduction and become familiar with tools for editing animation aimed on the presentation of design proposals.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
The attendance in lectures is recommended. The attendance at seminars is controlled. Students have to be present in scheduled hours in the computer laboratory, work on given projects and wait for consultation, unless a lecturer gives other individual plan. The excuse of absence is possible only due serious reasons such as illness. Unexcused absence may jeopardise awarding the graded course-unit credit.
