Purpose and description of the content of education:
The "Animation in Video Game" module introduces students to the essential aspects of designing and creating animations for video games. Participants will learn the motion mechanics, animation principles, and the tools used in professional production. The workshop focuses on character animation, environmental effects, and interactions with surroundings, considering technological constraints and design requirements. The module emphasizes the importance of teamwork in interdisciplinary projects, where animation plays a crucial role in creating immersion. Students will work with industry-standard software and undertake short practical projects. The course aims to develop skills in analyzing, designing, and implementing animations tailored to the specific needs of video games.
