 ID400 3D GAME DEVELOPMENT STUDIO
Spring 2010 13:30-16:15 MWF http://www4.ncsu.edu/~twbuie/id400/id400index.html Instructor: Timothy Buie office: 117-D Brooks Hall phone: 515-8332 email: tim_buie@ncsu.edu Course Description Design students, in association with Computer Science (CSC 482) students, will learn the fundamental principles and processes of game design and development by working in multi-disciplinary game development teams to build a semester-long game project. Topics include fundamental game design concepts, 2D and 3D content design, the roles of artists and designers in game development, and the integration of art in the game production pipeline. Emphasis will be placed on a team based approach to learning with communication, cooperation, and integration as critical tenets of the course. Basic drawing skills and knowledge of Photoshop or similar 2D graphics software are required, and students are also requested to have a personal computer capable of running 2D and 3D graphics production software concurrently. Attendance and Timeliness: • Attendance is mandatory, and each student is expected to be in class for the full duration. • Three unexcused absences: a drop of one letter grade • Four unexcused absences: a drop of two letter grades • Five unexcused absences: fail • The roll will be taken at the beginning of class. Please notify the professor if you arrive late. If you arrive 15 minutes late or later, it will count as a tardy for the day. If you leave class early without permission, it will count as a tardy for the day. Three unexcused tardies will count as an unexcused absence. • Written documentation, e.g. a receipt, is needed for an absence to be excused. If it is health related, I do not need to know
• Requests for anticipated excused absences must be submitted, with appropriate documentation, as soon as you are aware of them and before the absence. • Requests for excused emergency absences must be made and appropriately certified as soon as possible and no later than one week after the return to classes. Out of courtesy, a phone call or email explaining your absence, would be greatly appreciated. • If you miss class, it will be your responsibility to find out what you missed from one of your classmates. Any projects not available for critique will be considered late. Late projects should be completed outside of class, and handed in as soon as possible. • Late assignments will be penalized one letter grade for each class beyond the final due date. • NCSU Attendance Policies: http://www.ncsu.edu/policies/academic_affairs/pols_regs/REG205.00.4.php
