UIUC’s BFA Scenic Design merges hand drafting with Unreal Engine pre-viz to craft environments that amplify narrative. Students build scale models on laser cutters, project digital matte paintings, and calculate structural loads with engineering partners. Field trips to Chicago studios and VR walk-through critiques empower designers to fluidly shift between analog maquettes and virtual production pipelines.
