 __WHAT CCT370 IS ABOUT__


 * Communication has undergone a radical shift through the development of visualization techniques based on computer technology. This course explores the ways in which computer visualization, as it has come to be called, enhances and shapes messages in diverse areas through symbolical and means including graphing, animation, and special effects. The students will explore and review uses of these techniques in areas such as entertainment, science and technology, management and health sciences.**

 1. 3D Custom Modeling:* Photoshop CS4 has limited modification of 3D  models. Meaning, what I envisioned for this assignment is that you learn how  to import models and know how to modify the sub components of the models you  download or rather modify the already given shapes in Photoshop for you to  use towards the completing of your modeling idea. I was not expecting that <span style="display: block; font-family: -webkit-monospace; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;"> you would be going into detailing and create something very custom. I like <span style="display: block; font-family: -webkit-monospace; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;"> the idea that some of you are looking into this some more. For this I would <span style="display: block; font-family: -webkit-monospace; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;"> recommend a couple of things: 1. You can use any software you can get a hold <span style="display: block; font-family: -webkit-monospace; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;"> on to create custom 3D shapes. 2. For example, Google SketchUp (Pro version <span style="display: block; font-family: -webkit-monospace; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;"> free for evaluation). I decided that I will dedicate next week's class to <span style="display: block; font-family: -webkit-monospace; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;"> teach some of the basic of Google SketchUp as well as covering the <span style="display: block; font-family: -webkit-monospace; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;"> capabilities for 3D modeling editing of Photoshop CS4.

As stated above, Google SketchUp is available as well.
