This full-year course provides a foundation for the use of digital 3D media technologies in the communication of scientific research and medical/health information.

The course follows a two-module structure. The first module focuses on digital organic sculpting and the extraction of anatomical data from medical imaging for use in visualization. The second module focuses on digital 3D modelling and rendering and the creation of editorial-style visual media. In both cases, instruction consists of lecture, demonstration, and in-class exercises used to communicate fundamental concepts and common workflows.

Preparatory readings and training videos are provided to introduce and reinforce weekly topics of instruction. Students are expected to complete assignments outside of class time, submitting their work at various stages for review, evaluation, and feedback. Group and instructor critiques will occur regularly throughout the course.
