Detailed Description
Students learn how to create rigid and soft body dynamic effects as
well as how to create simulations to mimic natural phenomena. They
design, create, control and render these effects to integrate with
acquired footage and computer generated elements.

Course Critical Performance and Learning Outcomes
| |
Critical Performance
By the end of the program the students will have demonstrated the
ability to create, control and render dynamic effects.
Learning Outcomes
To achieve the critical performance, students will have demonstrated
the ability to:
1. Model geometry for use in dynamics.
2. Create dynamic simulations for rigid body objects.
3. Control dynamic simulations to match shot design.
4. Render dynamic elements to match footage.
5. Construct particle systems to re-create natural phenomena.
6. Connect geometry to particle systems.
7. Develop procedural effects to match shot design.
8. Create dynamic simulations for soft body objects.
9. Create controlled fire and smoke simulations.
10. Simulate controlled fluid dynamics.

Academic Honesty
The principle of academic honesty requires that all work submitted for evaluation and course credit be the original,
unassisted work of the student. Cheating or plagiarism including borrowing, copying, purchasing or collaborating on
work, except for group projects arranged and approved by the faculty member, or otherwise submitting work that is not
the student's own violates this principle and will not be tolerated. Instances of academic dishonesty, including
assisting another student to cheat, will be penalized as detailed in the Student Handbook.
Students who have any questions regarding whether or not specific circumstances involve a breach of academic
honesty are advised to discuss them with the faculty member prior to submitting the assignment in question.
Discrimination and Harassment
Sheridan is committed to provide a learning environment that respects the dignity, self esteem and fair treatment
of every person engaged in the learning process. Behaviour which is inconsistent with this principle will
not be tolerated. Details of Sheridan's policy on Harassment and Discrimination are available in the Student Handbook.
