Von der hinteren Coverseite

Theatre designers using 3D software for computer visualisation can use this book both as a guide to the creative design process and an introduction to the use of computers in live performance. Covering the main aspects of computer visualization and set design, the authors provide techniques for 3D modelling alongside creative ideas and concepts for working in 3D space. Practical projects are provided to sharpen awareness and digital skills, as well as a glossary of terms and suggested further reading to broaden the scope of your theatrical and design knowledge.

The exercises are written in such a way that while they specifically refer to Autodesk Viz software, the basic approaches and practices are transferable to other programs. This book will be of value to designers who do not use a computer in their work but are interested in the possibilities offered; indeed many of the observations on the design process are applicable to design with or without a computer.

The authors are experienced trainers in the field and understand the pitfalls to be avoided as well as the possibilities to be explored using computer visualization for designing for the theatre. They provide insightful descriptions of techniques used in the development of performance projects set in the wider context of design considerations. Computer Visualization for the Theatre is also particularly suitable for students of theatre design and related subjects.
