Students taking the course receive an overview of the interface, workflow, and project configuration; instruction in 3D modeling from 2D objects; and an introduction to lighting, rendering, and animation for visualization. Significant emphasis on the mental ray renderer is added to the course to expand student knowledge of advanced rendering techniques.
