ZDSN H3202 - Interactive Content Creation

Module Title:Interactive Content Creation
Language of Instruction:English
Credits: 10
NFQ Level:7
Module Delivered In No Programmes
Teaching & Learning Strategies: Lectures, practices, tutorials. Students will engage with both principles and tools in a strong learning by doing approach to real-world problems and projects.
Module Aim: This module will enhance the students 2d digital skills, to a high level of concept and development. Real world problems will allow for fast ideation coupled with enhanced design and development skills to create digital assets for use in the engaging interactive projects. Students will be introduced to the world of 3d design and creation, using software to create characters, object and environments that can be used across many different industries. Students will utilise appropriate 2D and 3D game engine technology to import, load and real-time render game protagonist, non-player characters and game-play environments.
