Computer Aided Design (CAD) is the use of computer technology in the creative industries, enabling the exploration of design ideas, the visualizing concepts through photorealistic and other visual styles of rendering, and to simulate how a design will look and perform in the real world prior to production. The ability to analyze, modify and optimize a Computer Generated Image (CGI), object and/or 3D environment is an integral part of the design process in all areas of the creative industries.
This unit aims to provide students with opportunities to develop their understanding and knowledge of CAD software applications used in the creative industries, and the practical skills to utilize the technology within their own creative work.
On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to understand the current and prospective uses of CAD technology within creative industries, and be able to produce a CAD drawing, objects, 3D environments and visualizations.
