The Importance of Perception and Imagination in Designing 3D Image
Abstract
3D animation and modelling has been known as one of the main subjects in the field of Arts and Design in Malaysia. This subject is applicable to all fields in the Faculty of Art and Design, including courses offered at the Universiti Teknologi MARA. As we all know, this 3D subject requires students to have great visual skills. In order to produce an attractive design, students need to have good memory, cognitive, and perceptual skills. However, problems arise when final year students of graphic design and digital media departments are found to be incompetent in that aspect. Thus, this study aims to investigate the problems and identify the most suitable time to apply so that the problems can be solved when students are in their final year of study.
