New approach to camerawork skills education for 3D/S3D computer graphics animation

摘要

Many vocational schools and universities offer lectures on non-stereoscopic 3D computer graphics (3DCG) animation production, as well as practical 3DCG software operation, modeling, and animation production. However, relatively few of these educational institutions provide lectures on stereoscopic 3D (S3D). To address this gap, we developed two 15-week syllabuses with educational materials, which focused on both knowledge based and skills-based education about 3DCG animation and S3D computer graphics (S3DCG) animation production, considering the potential employment of students in animation studios. Our investigation confirmed that the knowledge and skills of the subjects improved in this study, so we presented a report on the effectiveness of the educational materials for S3DCG animation production education at the Education Symposium of SIGGRAPH Asia 2015.
