Visualizing three dimensional objects is an important skill for many careers, e.g., animation, video game design, engineering, math, physics, biology, chemistry, interior design... the list goes on! It can help students working with Maya, AutoCad, Interior Design software and many other 3D software programs!
This spatial skill can be learned. It can help you in art, math and technology courses. Improve your grades and lower your stress! Through the easy to use software on the CD and exercises in the book, you will find spinning objects in your head a new form of exercise!
This course was created through a National Science Foundation grant to help special populations [such as women and others] who have the ability but not the 3D spatial skills needed for Engineering, 3D Animation, Math, Physics, Biology, Chemistry and Interior Design. Children who were given legos, blocks and other skill building toys have an advantage. But this can be taught! This course is a fun and interesting approach to bringing out the skills you already possess!
Studies have shown that women who take a short spatial visualization course have a higher retention rate and grades than those who don’t.
Female engineering students who took spatial reasoning had a 29% higher retention
rate then those who didn’t.
Improve your ability to mentally manipulate 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional
figures. An essential skill for career success, this course is an introduction to
3D Spatial Visualization for video game artists, animators, architects, biolo-
gists, computer programmers, engineers, and geologists.
See this video to learn why these skills are important to Video Game Designers and 3D Artists!
