FHEQ Level 6

Module Outline

This module provides you with an intensive introduction to 3D computer programming. The main focus is graphics, but it also includes an audio element.
On successful completion of this module, you will have created a complex virtual interactive Unity application, which demonstrates some of the core principles of 3D environments, including:
• Ray tracing, surface normals, diffuse materials, collision detection, shading, textures and particle systems
• Audio in a 3D environment

Module learning outcomes

Understand the core elements of virtual 3D environments

Be able to implement the core elements within an interactive 3D application in Unity

Follow fundamental programming principles, enabling you to produce better, more robust software

Use project management principles, allowing you to deliver successful applications
