CNM 190: Advanced Digital Animation is a year-long course offered at UC Berkeley which is targeted at students with backgrounds in art, film, or computer science who intend to work in the visual effects, animation, and entertainment industries.
It will build upon students' knowlege from related courses to guide them through the digital animation production process in an environment similar to industry production houses. We will survey many advanced topics and allow students to focus on a subset they find interesting while collaborating with their team to develop a 30-second animation piece.
Our class will be held MWF 1:00PM-3:00PM PST via Zoom.

The final grades for CNM190 break down as follows:
- Weekly Homework Assignments: 25%
