Computer Science
New course: CS495 Special Topics
in Computer Science:
"3D Game
Development.”
- Tuesday, Thursday;
- 4 credit hours
- Instructor Dr. Jeffrey Horn (
jhorn@nmu.edu )
Prerequisites: CS majors who have completed CS 201, enroll in the course as
CS495. Other students with significant background in 3D art, 2D textures,
digital imaging, computer music, or other appropriate skills are encouraged to
enroll in the class as CS298 “Directed Studies in Computer Science.” Contact Dr. Jeffrey Horn (jhorn@nmu.edu, 227-1607) with questions.
The first three weeks of the course covers basics of designing and developing
3-dimensional computer games. The class will then break into teams to create 3D
games using a commercial game engine (3D Game Studio). Students will be
expected to specialize as designers, programmers, 3D artists, music/sound
developers, managers, and, after completing the course, will be allowed to
distribute their games for fun and profit. We need diverse skills and people
for successful teams!
More details will be
available during the remainder of the Fall 2003
semester at a link on Dr. Horn’s web page:
